पिया एसो जिया में समाए गयो रे

मैं तो तन-मन की सुध-बुध गवां बैठी

हर आहट पे समझी वो आए गयो रे

झट घूंघट में मुखड़ा छुपा बैठी

"पिया एसो जिया में "

(फ्रॉम साहिब बीबी और ग़ुलाम),

GEETA DUTT // SINGER

“She was an Indian classical and playback singer. She found particular prominence as a playback singer in Hindi cinema and Bengali cinema and is considered as one of the best playback singers of all time in Hindi films. She also sang many modern Bengali songs in the non-film genre. In 1957, her husband’s affair with Waheeda Rehman drove her to alcoholism. The break up of their marriage affected Geeta's singing career. In 1964, her husband died of suicide, which shattered Geeta. She then suffered a serious nervous breakdown and ran into financial problems.”

Remembering the legendary singer #GeetaDutt on her birth anniversary (23/11).

‘Jaane kya tune kahi, Jaane kya maine suni, Baat kuchh ban hi gayin’

Geeta Dutt, born as Geeta Ghosh Roy Chowdhuri on November 23, 1930, was a famous Indian singer. She was known for her work in Hindi movies and Bengali classical music. She was born in Faridpur, which was part of India before it was divided. Geeta was one of ten children in a rich family. Her family moved to Calcutta and Assam in the 1940s because of the Partition of India.

When she was 12, they moved to Bombay, and she continued her education. A man named K. Hanuman Prasad trained her in singing and helped her start her career in movie singing. At 16, she got her first chance to sing in a movie called Bhakta Prahlad.

Geeta met a film director, Guru Dutt, while recording songs for a movie. They fell in love and got married in 1953. They had three children.

Apart from films, she also recorded songs that were not for movies, working with famous music directors.

In 1957, her husband started making a movie with Geeta as the main singer, but it was stopped early. Their marriage had problems, and Geeta started drinking.

Guru Dutt died in 1964, which was a big shock for Geeta. She had financial troubles and tried to restart her singing career. She acted in a Bengali movie in 1967 and sang in another movie in 1971. Her last performance was in 1972 in an unreleased movie.

i just want someone to be sitting on the opposite sofa end, them working on their laptop, me reading my book, and have a moment where we just stare into each other's eyes... have a radio bursting just at that moment into 'aankhon hi aankhon mein ishara ho gaya, baithe baithe jeena ka sahara ho gaya'. is it too much to ask for? is it? IS IT?
