Tribute to Guru Dutt and Geeta Dutt.
Guru Dutt was considered to be a man ahead of his time one of the greatest icons of commercial Indian cinema. He made about less than 50 films during his lifetime, they are believed to be the best known both for their ability to reach out to the common man and for their artistic and lyrical content of the Golden Age.
Guru Dutt and Geeta Roy fell in love and, although they faced strong opposition from their families, they married on 26 May 1953, and had three children. Their romance also seemed to bring a sparkle into Geetaji's voice, she sang some of her best ones in her husband's films. Geeta Dutt held a rare mellifluous tone in her voice that could fuel passion and all kinds of emotions into whatever song she sung.
Later on the marriage started to hit rocky ground, Guru Dutts had gotten involved with Waheeda Rehman and as a result Geeta Dutt had separated from him. Waheeda Rehman too had distanced herself from him and this caused a vacuum in his life. Unable to cope with all the trauma and emptiness, he took to heavy smoking and drinking.
Finally, on October 10, 1964 Guru Dutt was found dead in his bed, having committed suicide at the age of 39 . His death caused Geeta to suffer a nervous breakdown. To make matters worse, she was in a financial mess and due to all the stressful events around her she took to alcohol. Geeta Dutt eventually died at the age of 42 on July 20, 1972 from cirrhosis of the liver.

  • Dear Brothers,  Raise your voice to help geeta aunty to be honored by the indian governement. it was the dirty politics of the indian film industry that geeta aunty was cornored, she is fantastic singer and might have over thrown the mangeshkar families domination in the hindi film industries. please spread the message brothers and sisters.
