What does it contain :

A detailed life story on young playback singer Geeta Roy who married Guru Dutt to become Geeta Dutt. Over 200 pages with more than 100 never before seen pics of the singer and many aspects of her life.


P.S.

Many thanks to our dear Hildebrand for finding the information about the book on the internet and also thanks to our dear Subir bhai for scanning the cover of the book for us.

The author of the book has kind enough to give a detailed interview for us. The interview is more than 2 hours long and covers the journey of the book from its inception to its release. A lot of nuggets of information have been shared with us by the author in this interview.

An audio-visual version of this interview will soon be posted on www.geetadutt.com and also on Youtube. The idea is to let more and more people know about the book and about Geeta ji in general.
