Geeta Dutt (née Roy), who had no formal training in music, sang two lines in a chorus in the film Bhakt Prahlad (1946). On hearing her voice, S.D. Burman persuaded her father to let her sing in his forthcoming film Do Bhai (1947). The first song to be recorded for the film in her voice was ‘Humein chod piya kis des gaye’. She sang six out of the nine songs of the film. From them the songs "Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya" [2] and "Yaad Karoge" [1][3] became enduring hits.
