Ritu Shivpuri is back

Remember the '80s actress Ritu Shivpuri who starred in films like Aankhen, Hadh Kar Di Aapne and Lajja? The charbuster Lal Dupattewali from Aankhen was filmed on her and Raageshwari. Now, after a decade, the actress is all set to make a comeback to films with He Man and on TV she will make her debut with Anil Kapoor's 24. Sources say that she will be seen essaying Dr Sunny, a forensic officer at (Anti Terrorist Unit) who work towards averting a major National threat.

In He Man directed by Puneet Issar and starring newcomers, she will be playing an important role. A source close to her says that Ritu quit films after marriage and motherhood to look after her twins - a son and a daughter. "Now that they are nine-years-old and busy with their school and classes, Ritu has time to return to acting which she is passionate about considering her parents Sudha and Om Shivpuri were known names in films and theatre. Since women are getting a lot of scope to perform in films - they no longer have to be just glamorous showpieces and she can't wait to make a comeback with good roles."
