Latest On Geeta Kapoor: Police Launch Manhunt For Pakeezah Actress’ Son Who Abandoned Her At Hospital

The heart-rending story of Geeta Kapoor, the veteran actress whose resume includes films like Pakeezah, has captured the nation’s attention.

The actress was reportedly found at the SRV Hospital in Goregaon in an unconscious state. Geeta Kapoor’s son Raja, who is a choreographer, had abandoned the actress at the hospital. He had told the hospital authorities that he was heading out to find the nearest ATM and will return with cash.

That was in April. No one from Geeta Kapoor’s family has since turned up to see the aging actress, who was malnourished and frail when she was admitted to the hospital.

When hospitals officials visited the residence to look for Raja, neighbours told them the place had been rented out three months ago and the family had vacated it within hours of sending Geeta Kapoor to hospital.

Filmmaker and CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) member Ashoke Pandit and producer Ramesh Taurani stepped forward to help the veteran actress.

They footed Geeta Kapoor’s hospital bills that amount to Rs 1.5 lakh.

But when the duo told the hospital that they want to move Geeta Kapoor to an old age home, where she will be cared for properly, their request was turned down.

The reason: The hospital told them that they will need a No Objection Certificate from the son before they released her.

To put an end to Geeta Kapoor’s misery, Ashoke Pandit filed an FIR at the Goregaon police station. The police have now launched a man hunt for Raja.

Once the errant son signs the NoC, Geeta will be able to start a new life, at a place where she is treated with love and dignity!

When contacted, Pandit told SpotboyE.com: “We pray that Raja is caught soon. He cannot go too far, he will be apprehended soon. We will see to it that Geeta ji becomes healthy and gets her dignity back.”
