The article from *The Times of India* discusses the financial struggles faced by Pankaj Dheer's family due to a promise made by his father, CL Dheer, to actress Geeta Bali. CL Dheer was a filmmaker who co-produced a film called "Rano" with Geeta Bali, starring Dharmendra. Tragically, Geeta Bali contracted smallpox during filming and passed away in 1965. Before her death, Geeta Bali asked CL Dheer to promise that if anything happened to her, he would not complete the film. CL Dheer honored this promise despite the significant financial investment in the project. This decision led to the Dheer family losing a substantial amount of money, which they could never fully recover from. Dilip Kumar and Meena Kumari suggested completing the film with Meena, but CL Dheer remained committed to his promise to Geeta Bali. This incident had a profound impact on the family, with Pankaj Dheer later becoming the sole breadwinner after his father's demise. The family's financial struggles were alleviated somewhat by Pankaj's success in the film industry, notably for his role as Karna in *Mahabharat* and other notable works.
