Remember Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi's Swaroop Sampat? She's In Ekta Kapoor's New Show

New Delhi: Swaroop Sampat became a household name after she played the role of Renu in Eighties' hit television show Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi and now, after more than three decades, she is all set to return to the small screen (sort of) in Ekta Kapoor's The Great Indian Dysfunctional Family. The show, which will also feature Kay Kay Menon and Barun Sobti (Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?), is a web-series which will air on Ekta Kapoor's AltBalaji. Swaroop Sampat told mid-day that she's happy with her comeback. "My character is interesting and I'm sure the story will stand out. I am very happy to be a part of this offering. I have only started shooting for the show recently and it is fun to be on set with this unit," she said.
