hmm hmm hmm hmm

ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
shaam kahoon main mangal taaraa
bhor suhaani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
jab bartan chheden sargam
main bhooloon apna har gham
is aangan ke dar kone mein
mera mukhdaa chamke chamcham
yahi meri duniyaa
yahi meri duniyaa
main is duniyaa ki deewaani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
laaj se dulhan
pyaar se patni
mamta se hai maataa
kitna sundar
kitna pyaaraa
ho
kitna sundar kitna pyaaraa
naari ka ye naataa
naari ka ye naataa
sadaa nayaa ek roop
sadaa nayaa ek roop
sadaa ek nayi kahaani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
he mere Bhagwaan
he mere Bhagwaan
tumhaari dayaa na mujhse roothhe
sukh mein kabhi abhimaan na aaye
dukh mein dheer na chhoote
sukh mein kabhi abhimaan na aaye
dukh mein dheer na chhoote
tumhaari dayaa na mujhse roothhe
gire na aankhon se
gire na aankhon se aanchal
bas main wo paani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee
main ghar ki raani hoon jee

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the response to my efforts in colouring Geeta ji’s photos in my previous article here. I have spent a lot of time in doing the colouring and I am glad that many people have loved them.
Due to some past bad experiences, I did put my name in them but I was helpless as I had to ensure proper credit is given to me.
It is said in our culture that any lady looks her best on her wedding day. Few years back I had come across some Black and White photos of Geeta ji’s wedding with Guru Dutt where one can see her family and friends rejoicing their union. It was natural for me to wonder, How stunning Geeta ji would have looked on her big day. And when I wonder about such things, Its natural for me to want to try to colour those photos.
Today, I am sharing the results of my colouring various photos of the wedding of Geeta ji with Guru Dutt. I hope you will enjoy seeing them as much as I loved working on them. Many people are relatives whom I am not aware. If you can identify some, Do please leave your comments below. Thank you. Lots of Best Wishes to all of you from the Carribean!
Geeta Fan Lakshmipriya ji has dug up a photo from the Internet of Geeta ji. As per her, this beautiful pic of Geeta Dutt ji was taken in Delhi on September 18, 1959.
Thanks to Shashank Chikarmane ji for sharing these photos of Geeta ji!
More pictures shared by him.
Few of these photos you may have seen in Haimanti ji’s book as well. The J P Kaushik photo had been shared earlier by Shishir Krishna Sharma ji shared to him by the composer himself when he interviewed J P Kaushik ji.
Manisha Roy ji (wife of Mr.Tapan Roy), daughter in law of Geeta Dutt’s eldest sister recently helped us getting in touch with Ibha Dutta ji. Ibha ji is the daughter of Geeta Dutt’s elder sister Jyotirmayee Devi
An extremely Beautiful pic of GEETA DUTT with Lakshmi Chakraborthi [Geeta Dutt’s sister / Mrs. Promod Chakraborty ] shared by IBHA DUTTA [ the daughter of Geeta Dutt’s elder sister Jyotirmayee Devi seen to the left of Geeta Dutt ] with Sounak Gupta who had the great fortune to meet her in Kolkata. He came in touch with her through Manisha Roy ji (Mrs. Tapan Roy) – daughter in law of Geeta Dutt’s eldest sister.. All the credit for this post goes to Manisha Roy ji Ibha Dutta ji & Sounak Gupta ! Many thanx to all of them.
And last but not the least, Here’s a picture of Geeta ji with her parents and siblings, courtesy Lakshmipriya ji!
