[edit] Early life

Bali was born in Mumbai, India. She is the niece of Bollywood actress Geeta Bali, Shammi Kapoor's first wife.

[edit] Career

Bali was around at the same time as a lot of huge stars so did not become a major star herself. Among her contemporaries were Reena Roy, Rakhee, Sharmila Tagore, Hema Malini, Rekha, Jaya Bachchan, and Zeenat Aman. She became singer/actor Kishore Kumar's third wife. He directed her and acted with her in "Sabhash Daddy" (1979). Producer Shakti Samanta thought that Yogita fell in love with actor Mithun Chakraborty on the set of his film Khwab (1980).^[1]. She divorced Kishore Kumar to marry Mithun, thus also starting the singing career of Bappi Lahiri. As initially Kishore Kumar refused to sing for Mithun and hence Bappi Lahiri the music director of many of Mithun's early films sang for Mithun himself. One of her most enjoyable films was 'Biwi-O-Biwi' in which she starred opposite Sanjeev Kumar. She worked as a computer engineer before becoming an actress. She went to the University of Calcutta, and graduated with a B.S. and went on to receive her M.Sc. She did several movies with Uttam Kumar in the late 1970s, and some say^[who?] that she fell in love with Kumar, like Suchitra Sen and other women who acted in movies with Uttum Kumar, before meeting Mithun Chakraborty.
