Helen, renowned as one of the finest actresses in Indian cinema, was born in Rangoon, present-day Burma, to Anglo-Indian parents. Her journey to the film industry was challenging, having to escape her home country during World War II. Despite the hardships, she went on to become a cinematic icon, featured in over 1000 films and celebrated for her stunning beauty and graceful dance moves. In her personal life, Helen is happily married to the esteemed screenwriter Salim Khan.
Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a revelation about Helen’s past on his game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati.’ The question posed to a contestant was, “Which of these actresses was born in Myanmar and later escaped with her family to India during the Second World War?” The correct answer, Helen, led to a fascinating tale of her escape from war-torn Burma in 1943, trekking through challenging terrains to reach India.
Reflecting on their collaboration, Bachchan fondly recalled working with Helen in several films and praised her as a kind and compassionate woman. Their iconic dance in the song ‘Yeh Mera Dil’ from the blockbuster ‘Don’ remains etched in Bollywood history.
Helen’s personal life took a beautiful turn as she married veteran Bollywood filmmaker Salim Khan, becoming an integral part of the Khan family. Her bond with her husband’s children, including Salman Khan, is evident through her adoption of Arpita, the youngest among the five Khan siblings.
