Hi Abhay

As always, my role has been that of a catalyst in making of this interview and its video. I am glad you liked it.

It seems like at this ripe age, Manna da is not very cohesive and consistent as far as names and years are considered. Geeta ji's brother Chabi (as mentioned by Manna da) is the nick name of her eldest brother Mihir Roy, and not a "Dutt". Even Manna da mentions about Geeta ji singing in the year 1943. I believe he meant to say 1953.
I am myself not sure about the assistant MD part of it. There could be an instance where Geeta ji would have helped him in music compositions..

Best Regards
Parag

P.S. Enclosing the family tree of Geeta ji

Based on other interviews I've seen of his it was obvious from this video that Manna Dey has aged significantly and seems to have memory issues. This is not surprising as he is 90+. He made a pretty obvious error in calling Geeta's brother, a close friend, Dutt instead of Roy...
