Swati Kapoor in Fox TV show

A newspaper recently reported about Fox TV making the show on Ruchika Girhotra case. Tellybuzz brings more inside stuff on it.

According to our source, "The show is expected to launch on Star Plus and Swati Kapoor who was last seen in Hum Dono Hai Alag Alag as the sister of male lead, will be playing an important role in it."

Adds the source, "Other than Swati the key role will be played by Ashutosh Rana. He will be playing the main accused DGP Rathore. Arif Zakaria will enact the character of Ruchika's father."

Fourteen-year-old Ruchika Girhotra was molested in 1990 by Shambhu Pratap Singh Rathore in Haryana. After lodging an official complaint her family members were  harassed by the system that eventually led Ruchika to commit suicide.

We contacted Arif Zakaria who confirmed the news saying, "Yes, I am playing a part in the show. It's a realistic story and I am playing the father who copes up with the trauma and fights against the person who has the whole system behind him."

We also contacted Swati Kapoor but she refused to comment anything for now.
