A police complaint has been filed even as the hospital has started looking for an old-age home for the actress as she is recovered now.
Geeta has worked in over 100 films with a major role in Kamal Amrohi’s Pakeezah where she played Rajkumar’s second wife. The film had Meena Kumari in the lead. Her son, Raja, is said to be a choreographer. Her daughter, Pooja, is a airhostess.
Speaking to a daily, Geeta Kapoor said, “He used to beat me up as I did not approve of his philandering ways. He would give me food once in four days, and sometimes, even lock me up for several days. I was not ready to go to an old-age home, that’s why, he planned all this. He deliberately kept me hungry and I fell ill. Then, he got me admitted and fled.”
