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:

- Naino Ki Pyali Se Hoto Ki Madira (Raseeli)
- Neha Lagake Mukh Mod Gayaa (Raseeli)
