Actress Maisie Williams, who portrays the role of Arya Stark in "Game of Thrones", says if one goes by the story of the popular television series, it's matching the hype.

The Season 6 will premiere in India on Star World Premiere HD on April 26.

"Coming into season 6, I feel like it's really ramping up now and story-wise it's matching the hype, which is exciting knowing that you've got just as strong stories to go along with the buzz of the end of season 5," she told independent.co.uk.

"Arya's never really been part of the game of thrones and I'm actually so pleased about that because the people who get sucked into it always start out fighting for one thing but the power game and the Iron Throne make them start fighting for the wrong reasons," she added.

Speaking about the future of her character, Williams said: "I ultimately see Arya working independently. Just killing the bad guys and helping the good guys. I don't see her on the Iron Throne. Though I think she'd be a really good hand to the right king. She'd make good, loyal decisions. She'd never do anything for the wrong reasons."

Seasons 1 to 5 of "Game of Thrones" is currently being aired on Star World and Star World HD.
