He may have spent 20-odd years in the entertainment industry, but Kay Kay Menon displays childlike enthusiasm as he discusses The Great Indian Dysfunctional Family, an ALTBalaji series that marks his web debut.

"The show is essentially a dark comedy and it's a difficult genre to pull off. But when I read the screenplay, I was convinced. The script had no place for melodrama or heavy dialogues. A functional family is a utopian idea. Here, we are showcasing a family where every character has his share of quirks and flaws, which is probably why viewers have been able to relate to the story," says Menon, who plays the brooding ex-Army officer Vikram Ranawat. Barun Sobti slips into the shoes of his younger brother and Swaroop Sampat, the family matriarch.
