Mithun Chakraborty was earlier married to Helena Luke for four months before he tied the knot with Yogita Bali. Helena had appeared in Amitabh Bachchan starrer ‘Mard‘ and has been away from the limelight for a while. She was staying in the US. Helena has passed away and her friend Kalapana Iyer too to social media to share this news.
While the reason for her death is still unknown, Helena’s last post on social media read, “Feeling weird. Mixed emotions and no clue why, discombobulated.”
Helena and Mithun were married for four months and during an interview with Stardust, she had spoken about it, many years ago. She had said, “This four-month old marriage of mine is like a hazy dream now. I only wish it hadn’t happened. He was the one who brainwashed me into believing that he was the man for me. Unfortunately, he succeeded.”
She had further added that marrying him was a nightmare and she is glad that she is out of it. Helena never spoke about it ever after that. She had said, “I was the one who walked out on him and asked for a divorce. He may be a star now, but that does not change my plans. I’ll never go back to him even if he is the richest guy around. I haven’t even asked for alimony. It was a nightmare and it’s over. I wish Mithun would stop talking about me. What I hate about Mithun is the way he treats his women as publicity props by discussing them and talking about them. As for me, this is the last time I’m speaking on this man. In a few months, our divorce will come through and he can do whatever he likes after that.”
Helena was also seen in other movies like ‘Ek Naya Rishta’, ‘Mere Saath Chal’, ‘Do Gulaab’ among others.
