love your research the relationship with bina ramani was a very brief and formal thing in those times a widower with two kids was not a very exciting proposition today however its yours mine and ourstell us something from your dads love story with your momtheres a story behind this too you know i myself was very keen to know more about their love story more than what i had heard and read and i got to know it from dev anandfrom dev anand howonce dev saab called me to meet him he wanted to know what i was doing in my life i told him i was a writer i even put a script and finances for him he asked me if i wanted to know anything from him i asked him to tell me a thing or two from my parents love story i told him that i wanted to know more about my mother geeta bali she had passed away when i was just 9 years olddev saab instructed everyone else to leave his office only he his son suniel and i were left in the roomdev saab told me that my dad was a rascal when i asked him why he said that he would come on the set of baazi starring dev anand and geeta bali and disturb him because he wanted to take my mom away and yes he also told me that when he dev anand was doing baazi with my mother people arrived on the sets in huge numbers to see her and not him this compliment for my mother geeta bali coming from dev saab was a very big thing i felt so happy and he also told me that my nose resembles my mothers nose i felt happiertrust me the person who made my father such a big success was geeta bali she gave him his style and personality this was told to me by my dad so a lot of geeta bali rubbed on your fatheryes thats because she was a very vivacious person she injected her personality into my father she died very young and had a very small portfolio to present but it was she who put him in the drivers seatwho looked after you when geeta bali passed awayimmediately krishna aunty mrs raj kapoor started looking after us my sister kanchan and i started staying with her dad stopped working for six months he too was staying with us at krishna auntys place there were caretakers etc who were assigned responsibilities there was a system in place only after he recovered to some extent he resumed shooting the set of teesri manzil was lying in wait for 5 months nasir hussain who produced teesri manzil refused to pull the set down until shammi ji came back krishna aunty categorically told him that she wont let him go anywhere until he gets his sanity back he was completely lost when my mother geeta bali passed away those
