As a young girl, Swaroop Sampat’s greatest joy was to sit backstage and watch the heroine of the play apply her make-up and transform into whichever role she was playing. “My father was the chief producer of the Indian National Theatre and I would accompany him to various rehearsals,” recalls the 67 year old.One of her fondest memories is watching the Gujarati theatre doyen Sarita Joshi getting ready for her role in the iconic play Santu Rangili, a social drama that ran for nine years. “You won’t know how incredible that feels unless you have experienced it. I was hardly 10 years old and to me, theatre felt fantastic,” says the former Miss India, who became a household name with the television serial Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi in 1984.
