Geeta Bali (born Harkirtan Kaur; 1930 ‒ 21 January 1965) was an Indian actress who worked in Hindi films.

After working in Badi Bahen (1949), Bali went onto establish herself as a leading lady of the 50s with films such as Bawre Nain (1950), Albela (1951), Baazi (1951), Jaal (1952), Anand Math (1952), Vachan (1955), Milap (1955), Faraar (1955), Jailor (1958) and Mr. India (1961).

[5] Geeta Bali was born as Harikirtan Kaur in Amritsar in the Punjab Province of British India in 1930.

[13] Unlike other actresses who gave up films after marrying into the Kapoor family, Bali kept acting until her death.

[16] Bali had her best onscreen pairing with Dev Anand, with whom she worked in several successful films including Baazi (1951), Jaal (1952), Ferry (1954), Milap (1955), Faraar and Pocket Maar (1956).

[20] Bali worked with her husband Shammi Kapoor in films such as Miss Coca Cola (1955), Rangeen Raaten (1956), in which she sang a song and Coffee House (1957).

[32] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com noted, "Geeta Bali’s terrific comic timing and natural manners made her stand out in a crowd of stilted, self-aware beauties.

"[35] Dinesh Raheja noted, "Geeta Bali's reputation as an actress rests more on her performances than her roles.

Earthy, effervescent and uninhibited, she shed coyness and simpering so characteristic of the early Hindi film heroine.
