Meanwhile, Ashoke Pandit told indianexpress.com, “I came to know that an old lady named Geeta Kapoor has been abandoned at a hospital in Goregaon, Mumbai, by her children after reading a newspaper. I didn’t know Geeta Kapoor is the Geeta Kapoor from Pakeezah. After reaching the hospital, I cleared the bills and I wanted to tell the hospital guys that she will be taken care of, so there are no insecurities from the hospital side and they would continue treating her. Paying the bills was not a big thing, really. I saw my mother in her. As soon as I read about an old lady bring abandoned by her kids, I was feeling very uncomfortable and hence wanted to help her out, so Ramesh Tauraniji and I went to the hospital.”
Geeta Kapoor had worked in Bollywood movies like Pakeezah and Razia Sultan.
