Renowned
screenwriter
and
lyricist
Manoj
Muntashir
is
currently
seen
as
one
of
the
panellists
in
the
singing
reality
show
Indian
Idol
12.
He
recently
took
to
his
social
media
handle
to
apologize
for
a
factual
error
that
he
made
during
one
of
the
recent
episodes
of
the
show.
The
said
error
was
regarding
the
legendary
actor's
marital
life.
Manoj
had
revealed
in
the
episode
how
Shammi
had
applied
lipstick
on
the
parting
between
actor
Geeta
Baali's
hair
to
tie
the
knot
with
her.
However,
the
'Kaun
Tujhe'
singer
then
went
on
to
say
that
Shammi
never
went
on
to
marry
again
after
Geeta's
demise.
But
this
statement
turned
out
to
be
false
as
the
Kashmir
Ki
Kali
actor
had
gone
on
to
marry
Neela
Devi
Gohil
four
year
after
the
passing
away
of
Geeta.
His
second
marriage
with
Neela
took
place
in
the
year
1969
and
lasted
till
the
year
2011
when
Neela
passed
away.
Manoj
took
to
his
social
media
account
to
apologize
for
this
factual
error
regarding
the
legendary
actor's
marital
life.
He
tweeted
stating,
"Like
all
you
lovely
people
out
there,
I
am
a
die-hard
Hindi
cinema
fan

Sometimes

The
An
Evening
In
Paris
actor
had
spoken
about
his
marriage
to
Geeta
for
author
Rauf
Ahmed's
book
Shammi
Kapoor:
The
Game
Changer.
He
had
stated,
"When
we
reached
the
temple
at
the
crack
of
dawn,
Geeta
in
her
by-now
crumpled
salwar-kameez
and
I
in
my
kurta-pyjama,
it
was
pouring
cats
and
dogs.
With
Hari
Valia
as
the
sole
witness,
the
pujari
(priest)
performed
the
ceremonial
rites
and
we
took
seven
pheras
(rounds)
of
the
holy
fire
and
were
declared
husband
and
wife.
Geeta
took
out
a
lipstick
from
her
purse
and
asked
me
to
apply
it
on
her
maang
(parting
of
the
hair)
like
sindoor
(vermilion)
to
proclaim
our
marital
status."
