Career
K. Hanuman Prasad took Geeta under his patronage, trained and groomed her in singing and later launched her into singing in the movies. In 1946, she got the first break when she got an opportunity to sing in mythological film Bhakta Prahlad (1946) for which Prasad was the music director. She was given only two lines to sing in the movie for a few songs. She was just sixteen at that time. But those two lines mesmerized everyone in the recording studio.
- Ab jaani re pehchaani re
- Suno suno vintee hamaari
- Suno suno hari ki leela
- Jaag uthe hum jaag uthe
In a matter of another year, in 1947, she got her break with Do Bhai.
In 1946, Geeta sang her debut songs for his film Bhakta Prahlad:
In the same year, she also sang for Hunuman Prasad's other releases.
- Naino Ki Pyali Se Hoto Ki Madira (Raseeli)
- Neha Lagake Mukh Mod Gayaa (Raseeli)
- Aaja ri Nindiya Aaja - a lullaby alongside the already established playback singer Parul Ghosh (Nai Maa)

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
