Swaroop Sampat (born 3 November 1958) is an Indian actress who has acted in several Hindi language films such as Naram Garam.[2] She won the Miss India contest in 1979[3] and represented India at Miss Universe 1979.[4]

Early life

Swaroop obtained a Ph.D. in Education[5] from the University of Worcester.[6] She did her doctoral thesis on using drama to enhance life skills in children with learning disabilities.[7]

Acting career

Swaroop Sampat became successful with the hugely popular TV comedy show Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, where she played the role of Shafi Inamdar's wife. She had reportedly rejected another important serial on television at that time because she found the script of Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi very touching and was sure that it connected well with common people and showed their day-to-day activities and living with simplicity. It is a decision she is happy about as the serial turned out to be an all-time hit. She appeared in a bikini in the Kamal Haasan-Reena Roy starrer Karishma and stunned the nation with her hourglass figure.

Swaroop modeled for Shringar, a kumkum company. She teaches acting to disabled children.

Other pursuits

She is a trainer, traveling across India to conduct workshops for teachers to impart this knowledge for the benefit of children.[8]

She was selected by then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to head an educational program for children.[9]

Personal life

Swaroop is married to actor Paresh Rawal.[10] She directs and acts in plays starring her husband. They have two sons, Aniruddh and Aditya.
