Helen Reflects On Her Endearing Relationship With Asha Bhosle

September 10, 2023 by Areej Afzal

Asha Bhosle is undoubtedly a celebrated and legendary vocalist. Despite her remarkable career spanning over seven decades, she continues to maintain a prominent presence in the music industry, enchanting audiences with her melodious voice and accumulating numerous prestigious awards. On September 8, 2023, as Asha Bhosle celebrated her 90th birthday, the esteemed actress Helen took a moment to reminisce about their shared journey in the industry.

Reflecting on Asha Bhosle’s recent milestone, Helen, during an interview, fondly recalled their collaborative journey in the entertainment world. She affectionately referred to the iconic singer as the “precious navaratan” (precious gem) of Bollywood. The veteran actress expressed, “We have cherished a warm friendship over the years. She is an invaluable gem in the Hindi film industry. Her enduring contributions and timeless voice will forever be etched in our memories. Ashaji’s versatility allowed her to adjust her voice to complement my songs. We share a significant legacy of over 270 songs performed together. It was an absolute delight to dance to each of her renditions, and she played a pivotal role in their success.”

Helen Ji went on to share a charming anecdote, saying, “I can’t forget the compliment she once paid me, saying, ‘Helenji, if I were a man, I would marry you.’ I distinctly recall visiting the recording studio and listening to Ashaji’s rendition of ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja’ from ‘Caravan,’ and it sounded so marvelous that I immediately presented her with the largest box of chocolates. ‘O Haseena Zulfo Wali’ from ‘Teesri Manzil’ was such an electrifying and foot-tapping number that I instantly fell in love with it. For ‘Yeh Mera Dil’ from ‘Don,’ Ashaji infused an extra dose of allure into her voice, making it even more enjoyable for me to perform.”

In an interview, Asha Bhosle was asked about her remarkable work ethic, especially considering her age. She responded, “I believe that the moment someone starts obsessing over their age, they begin to feel old. Personally, I still feel no older than 40. It’s only when I see my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren that I realize how much time has passed.”

The veteran singer also shared her passion for traveling, cooking, and engaging with her audience during her performances. Additionally, she mentioned that, when time permits, she enjoys delighting the crowd with jokes or magic tricks to keep them entertained.

Salim Khan Shares Asking Children To Respect Helen Like Salma Khan

July 7, 2023 by Areej Afzal

During an interview with his son Arbaaz Khan, Salim Khan reflected on a time when he encouraged his children to give equal respect to his second wife, Helen, as they did to their mother, Salma Khan.

In an episode of Arbaaz’s chat show, The Invincibles, he asked his father if he believed his children played a role in maintaining his relationship with Helen.

Arbaaz questioned, “There have been instances where children revolt over how they treat my mother; even Salman was independent at that stage.”

Salim responded by sharing, “During a time when my children didn’t fully understand the complexities of the relationship, I made them sit down and realize the challenges. But I want to emphasize one thing, I know you can’t love Helen Aunty as much as you love your mother, but I expect the same level of respect.”

The actor, known for his role in Shootout At Lokhandwala, also acknowledged, “At that time, we may have had complaints and problems regarding how our family was affected, but as we grew older, we also encountered similar situations where we could have reacted the same way.”

According to reports, the Khan family now shares a great relationship with Helen. Salim Khan’s children, Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, and Sohail Khan, respectfully refer to Helen as ‘Aunty’ now.

Arbaaz Khan claims that when dad wanted to wed Helen, it was “tough” for mum

March 2, 2023 by Nida Sumair

Arbaaz Khan revealed that his father-screenwriter Salim Khan’s decision to marry again was difficult for his family.
Salim Khan tied the knot with Salma on November 1964.
They are parents to four children – Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, and Alvira.

Actor Arbaaz Khan has spoken candidly about how his family struggled when his father, playwright Salim Khan, made the decision to remarry. Arbaaz acknowledged in a recent interview that Salim’s choice was challenging for Salma Khan. It was a “very complex scenario,” he continued.
Salma and Salim Khan got married in November 1964. Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, and Alvira are their four children. Salim remarried actor Helen in 1981. Arpita Khan, another daughter, is also theirs.

It was challenging, especially for my mom, Arbaaz remarked in an interview with Indian Express. We were all really young at the time. But we could see that my father never abandoned us or kept us in want. Also, he described the connection as an emotional accident throughout our conversation. Most importantly, he decided to give it full dignity and incorporate it into his life because it wasn’t something he did lightly.

“It’s not easy to claim that these things are normal and that it will work,” he continued. Additionally, just because one such family can come together does not necessarily guarantee that others can do the same. Having two amicable wives and accepting kids is not an easy thing to do. It’s a really intricate situation, making it difficult to explain how, why, and what exactly went right. Yet looking back, I believe that being honest and trustworthy helped us a little.

Helen recently discussed Salim and Salma with Arbaaz on his new chat program The Invincibles “He (Salim) assigned me a part (in a film). We grew close, and your mother was lovely. It must have been difficult for her at the time; she must have experienced a lot. I believe that all of you are connected to me by fate, and I want to thank you all. I’ve never wanted Salim to be apart from his family.”

She said, “In the beginning, I would duck down so that Mummy [Salma] would not see me and believe that the car was empty near your house when I would pass Bandstand and I would know that she occasionally stands in the balcony. I used to treat her with such reverence.” Together with Helen, Arbaaz also served as the show’s host for his father, Salim Khan.

Helen claims that out of respect for Salma Khan, she would conceal herself in a car

February 18, 2023 by Nida Sumair

Helen discussed her life journey, career, and relationship with Arbaaz Khan’s father.
Salim Khan, and her respect for Salma Khan.
She did her best to keep a distance from her during the initial days of their relationship.

Since Helen last appeared in a major motion picture, it has been more than ten years. She played a senior performer in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine (2012), which was her last significant acting role. She spoke with actor Arbaaz Khan about her life’s path and how dancing in movies gave her her big break. She also opened out about her personal relationship with Salim Khan, the 1970s screenwriter who was the father of Arbaaz. Helen said that because Salim’s first wife, Salma Khan, was someone she respected, she tried her best to keep a distance from her in the beginning of their relationship.

The seasoned actor-dancer, who has appeared in over a thousand movies, fled Burma with her family and came in India from Myanmar, then Burma, in 1943. When she was just out of her teens and started working in the film industry, she finally met Salim Khan on a number of the movies they were involved in together. When Helen was going through a difficult time in her life, he supported her financially and professionally. He also assisted her with a few acting possibilities. Eventually, in the 1970s, they became close. Salim, though, was already married and had four kids.

Helen said in an interview with Arbaaz on his program The Invincibles that she never wanted Salim to leave his family. She also mentioned how much respect she had for Salma. The performer remarked, “In the beginning, I would duck down so that Mummy [Salma] would not see me and believe that the automobile was empty near your house when I would pass Bandstand and I would know that she occasionally stands in the balcony. I used to treat her with such reverence.”

Later, Arbaaz claimed that their relationships are so strong that Salma calls Helen to find out when she will be arriving when she doesn’t show up for family gatherings or meals. Salma was given a lot of credit by Helen, who noted that Salma had to have experienced a lot in the 1970s. She continued by saying that she firmly believes in fate and that “jo hone hai wohi hota hai” (whatever happens will happen).

Helen recounts the beginning of her romance with Salim Khan

February 16, 2023 by Nida Sumair

Helen Khan opened up about her marriage to Salim Khan, which was difficult for her first wife Salma Khan.
Helen fell in love with screenwriter Salim Khan.
Salim was also a married man with children, when he decided to marry Helen.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Helen was regarded as the dancing diva of the Hindi cinema business. Salim Khan, a scriptwriter, and Helen fell in love and was married in 1980. She was 42 at the time, and he was 45. When Salim made the decision to wed Helen, he was already married and had kids. Now, Helen, who enjoys a cordial relationship with Salim and his family, revealed up about her marriage and claimed that first wife Salma Khan found it “difficult” in a recent interview with Salim’s son, actor Arbaaz Khan.

Helen continued by saying Salma had to “go through a lot” before she and Salim started dating. After courting for a few years, Salim Khan and Sushila Charak, afterwards known as Salma Khan, got hitched in 1954. Actor Salman Khan, actor-producer Arbaaz Khan, and actor-director Sohail Khan are their three sons collectively. Salim and Salma also have two daughters, Alvira and Arpita Khan.

On Thursday, the preview for the upcoming The Invincibles episode was made public. When Arbaaz Khan questioned Helen in the video about her well-known dance performances in movies and how she ended her career, Helen responded, “I was extremely fortunate to be able to dance (in films) till I was 42 years old. Working in the film industry was not regarded favorably at the time, according to the old adage, “film industry main kaam nahi karna chahiye, yeh achi baat nahi hai.” The heroines essentially took over and began dressing in ways that no heroine would have back then. This much Helen was my fate; nothing more.”

Helen was then asked by Arbaaz if she had met Salim Khan, his father, at about the same time. Helen answered, “He (Salim) assigned me a part (in a film). We grew close, and your mother was lovely. It must have been difficult for her at the time; she must have experienced a lot. I believe that all of you are connected to me by fate, and I want to thank you all. I’ve never wanted Salim to be apart from his family.”

Salim assisted Helen in landing a number of Bollywood films in the 1950s and 1960s, which paved the way for the two of them to have a fruitful professional relationship. Salman discussed how his mother Salma had been wounded by his father Salim’s second marriage to Helen in a throwback interview with Filmfare in 1990. In addition, he had stated that despite their relationship’s numerous ups and downs, “Helen aunty” had grown to be a part of their family over time.
