Singer had inherited singing (Photo courtesy: IANS)New Delhi: In the world of music, if anyone’s name will be written in golden letters, then it will be the name of the nightingale Lata Mangeshkar, but do you know that Lata Mangeshkar was also crazy about the voice of a female singer. We are talking about playback singer Geeta Dutt, who casts a spell on hearts with her voice in Bengali and Hindi cinema. Lata Mangeshkar was also crazy about Geeta Dutt’s voice and accent.
Geeta Dutt’s birth anniversary is on 23rd November. He was born on 23 November 1930 in Faridpur district of East Bengal. He was fond of singing since childhood. Geeta got the inheritance of singing from her family. His mother used to write poems and his father Mukul Roy was a musician. The qualities of both were present in Geeta and there was such magic in her voice that it was possible to forget her voice after listening to it once.
Geeta Dutt sang many hit songs
Geeta Dutt demonstrated her singing skills for the first time in the 1946 film ‘Bhakt Prahlad’. Although he sang only two lines in the song, still his voice got a lot of praise. After this, he gave voice in the songs of the film ‘Do Bhai’ and within no time he gave many hit songs in different films with his magical voice. According to IANS report, Geeta Dutt’s ‘Piya Aiso Jiya Mein Samay Gayo Re’, ‘Jaane Kahan Mera Jigar Gaya Ji’, ‘Chin Chin Chu’, ‘Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan’, ‘Ae Dil Mujhe Bata De’, ‘Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam’, and ‘Babu Ji Dheere Chalna’ were the most popular. Geeta sang approximately 1500 songs in her career.
When Lata Mangeshkar was surprised by Geeta Dutt’s singing
In the book ‘Lata Sur Gatha’ written by Yatindra Mishra, an incident between Lata Mangeshkar and Geeta Dutt has been told. Both of them together gave their voice in the song ‘Jawaani Ki Rail Chali Jaaye Re’ from the film ‘Shehnai’ and at the same time both the singers also met for the first time. When Lata ji heard Geeta Dutt’s voice for the first time, she became her fan. It is mentioned in the book that Geeta generally spoke Bengali and used Hindi less, but as soon as she came on the mic to sing, the pronunciation became completely clear and the accent changed completely. Lata Mangeshkar was also surprised to see this look of hers.
