New Delhi: A day after veteran actress Geeta Kapoor, who is best remembered for her role in 'Pakeezah' was found in a sorry state and the pictures went viral on social media, it has now been reported that soon she will be shifted from the hospital to an old age home.

According to Pinkvilla.com, Geeta was admitted to the SRV hospital in Mumbai after her blood pressure went low. She was brought to the hospital by her son Raja. When the hospital authorities asked him to pay the bill, he set out in the pretext of finding an ATM but never returned, even after a month. The authorities tried to contact him, and Geeta's daughter, but all in vain. However, the hospital continued treatment and drew a bill of 1.5 lakh.

The report quotes the 'Pakeezah' actress as telling a leading daily, “He used to beat me 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. 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.”

Filmmaker and activist Ashoke Pandit took to Twitter and shared with everyone that the Mumbai police has given the NOC to shift address of Geeta Kapoor to an old age home.
