‘Shola jo bhadke..’: Geeta Bali’s sparkling film career – and its tragic climax
New Delhi, Nov 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) When Shammi Kapoor sings "Tumne mujhe dekha hokar ke mehrban" in slick whodunnit "Teesri Manzil" (1965), the serenade is not just meant for his peeved heroine, but actually a heartfelt tribute to his recently deceased wife - the vivacious, spontaneous, and much-admired Geeta Bali.
