It isn't that Geeta didn't love Guru Dutt or her family life, however when an artist is confined, he/she will undoubtedly become anxious like a fish deprived from water. 


Additionally Guru Dutt-Waheeda Rehman were working in one film after another and conversations of his affair were in the air. Because of this reality Geeta began to go into gloom. Sitting inert at home, aspiring & ambitions Geeta developed conduct issues.

Guru Dutt's romantical involvement with his on-screen love interest Waheeda Rehman, distanced Geeta and her kids from Guru Dutt. While Guru Dutt moved to a leased flat, Geeta moved to her folks place along with her youngsters. 

Guru Dutt was making his film 'Kagaz Ke Phool' in 1958. This was when there was disagreement in the house because of his personal life with muse Waheeda Rehman. The chemistry of Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman in superhit film Chaudhvin ka chand is mesmerizing.

Geeta was despondent. In 'Kagaz Ke Phool' with the exception of its end, the same is the story of Guru Dutt, Geeta and Waheeda. Geeta sang all the female songs in this film, which were filmed on Waheeda Rehman. Before long, there were a few issues including a conflict of self respect and a sentiment of hurt, which grieved Geeta. 

They had 11 years of a furious marriage. The two were splendid as artistes however as a couple confronted steady grinding. She had begun suspecting each actress he worked with. She monitored him constantly, that was her lone fixing. There would be visit squabbles and she'd remove the youngsters to her mom's home.

He'd beseech her to return. At that point the following day he'd get into a downturn and consider his kins to disclose to them that Geeta has removed the children. 

About Guru Dutt's self-destructive propensities, he had endeavoured self destruction twice previously. The second time he was admitted to the Nanavati Hospital and had slipped into a state of unconsciousness for three days. Subsequent to picking up awareness the principal word he articulated was 'Geeta!' Dutt's career was evading his hands.

Due to his liquor abuse, nervousness and sorrow assaults, Waheeda additionally removed herself from him. The actor director Waheeda and Guru Dutt had moved away much before he died.


It's said that Guru Dutt requested Geeta Dutt on the telephone that night to send the children across for the weekend as his shooting had got dropped. Hurt and sad Geeta refused.

The kids were consistently the bone of conflict between them. Since Guru Dutt was an insomniac, the Indian film writer, director and actor Abrar who visited him last advised him, never to mix alcohol with sleeping pills.

That night Abrar left without eating. Guru Dutt additionally didn't eat. Maybe, it turned into a deadly blend of overdose of dozing tablets and liquor on an unfilled stomach. 

The following morning, they had to break open the entryway. Guru Dutt's half-open eyes and his hand situated in a specific way recommended that he was going to state something. Waheeda came to offer the final respects right from Madras exactly when they were taking his body to the crematorium. His demise stays a secret.

Geeta was devastated by his passing and wore white sari for a year according to Bengali convention. In the later years, more often than not she was flushed. She use to conceal bottles of alcohol in the rack, in the washroom.

In the last phase of life at a music event, numerous artists accumulated to sing. Everybody from Mohammad Rafi to Lata Mangeshkar were there in the setting. When Lata went ahead stage, the group got insane. Her melodies were generally welcomed.

At long last when Geeta went ahead stage, the crowd didn't perceive her and she didn't get a welcome. She came, sang her song and left. Applause and recognition didn't get to her offer.

This is the most brutal and cruel treatment of the audience with a craftsperson. Geeta Dutt was no less than Lata Mangeshkar, yet the audience didn't have any recognition with her talent's legacy. 


By then she was experiencing 'cirrhosis of the liver'. On July 20, 1972 night when she took her final gasp she was oblivious and had tubes all over.  Blood was overflowing from her nose, ears and even sprinkled on the wall.

Over the top consumption of liquor caused her to endure such a rough passing. Her possessive love for her spouse ended her life. The demise of Guru Dutt and Geeta Dutt stopped an immortal romantic tale of two virtuoso spirits. At last both were human beings, and couldn't spare their reality.
