Geeta will be returning home on October 26 according to what her interpreter and caretaker Faisal Edhi told CNN-IBN. The interview took place after the news broke on Thursday morning that Geeta has identified her parents from a photograph that was sent to her by the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
CNN-IBN connected Geeta and Edhi who were live on-air with Kabir Khan, the director of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, who was on the phone.
Kabir Khan said that Geeta’s return means more than any award or box office success for him. Faisal Edhi in turn thanked Kabir Khan for the attention that Geeta’s story got because of his movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Kabir Khan also said that he hopes to see Geeta’s reunion with her family and that he will try and organise a meeting with Salman Khan.
