A star remains a star only till his/her last on screen appearance. The moment they bid adieu to the big screen, fate seems to take leave too. Be it super models roaming around the streets like a vagabond or veterans living in miserable conditions due to lack of money and work, there are numerous tales to narrate. One such name on the list is 'Pakeezah' star Geeta Kapoor.

A report in Mid-Day says that the 58-year-old 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 - the actress' children, 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.

Geeta was quoted in the report saying, "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," she said.

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.

I think its a misprint. She must be 85 yrs old as she has acted in Pakeezah
