New Delhi, May 27 (ANI): Late actress Geeta Kapoor breathed her last on May 26, at SRV Hospital in Mumbai. The news was confirmed by Ashoke Pandit on Twitter. “Standing besides the dead body of Actress #GeetaKapoor 57 who was abandoned by her kids in #SRVHospital a year back breathed her last at a suburban Old age home today morning. We tried our best to keep her healthy but her wait for her Son&daughter made her weaker day by day. #RIP,” he tweeted. The late veteran actress had worked in over one hundred films with a major role in Kamal Amrohi’s ‘Pakeezah’ where she played Rajkumar’s second wife. Raja, the actor’s son had apparently abandoned her last year, and never returned to check on her. CBFC member Ashoke Pandit and filmmaker Ramesh Taurani had then paid the hospital bills of the veteran actor and cared for her. The late actor’s mortal remains will be kept in Cooper Hospital for two days, for her family to come and see her. The funeral will be held on Monday.
