Actress Geeta Kapoor, 58 year old, who has worked in films such as Pakeezah and Razia Sultan was admitted to SRV Hospital in Goregaon by her son Raja who abandoned her and fled. After failed attempts by the doctors to trace Raja and Pooja, to inform them that their mother is now doing better and needs to be taken home after clearing all the bills, they have handed over the matter to the police.
When her son Raja was asked to make a deposit at the hospital, he went out on the pretext of looking for an ATM to withdraw money but never returned. The doctors at the hospital continued Geeta’s treatment as her condition was quite fragile. The hospital made multiple attempts to contact Geeta’s son Raja and her daughter Pooja, but their efforts yielded no results.
Actress said, her son used to beat her up as I did not approve of his philandering ways. He would give me food once in four days, and sometimes, even lock me up for several days because I was not ready to go to an old-age home, that’s why, he planned all this. He deliberately kept me hungry and I fell ill. Then, he got me admitted and fled.
The Doctor said, I even sent an ambulance to their home to trace him. But the neighbours said the family had left the house that very day, While her son didn’t turn up to take his mother home after being called repeatedly, daughter Pooja replied with a ‘wrong number’ and hung up.
As per the sources Producer Ramesh Taurani and Ashoke Pandit have come forward to pay the bills that came close to Rs 1.5 lakhs, and Geeta has been discharged.
