Helen’s Legendary Bollywood Career
Helen’s commitment to staying fit at her age is truly inspiring. She has been proving that age is just a number. Introduced to Bollywood in 1953 by the famous dancer Cuckoo, Helen got her big break in 1958 with her iconic performance in the song “Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo” from the movie Howrah Bridge. She was just 19 when she made her mark in the industry. Over her illustrious career, Helen has appeared in over 700 films, becoming a beloved figure in Indian cinema.
Known for her vibrant personality and unique style, Helen often donned colorful wigs, contact lenses, and skimpy outfits in her movies, setting her apart from her contemporaries. She was married to director Prem Narayan Arora from 1957 to 1972. After their divorce, she married screenwriter Salim Khan in 1981, blending into the Khan family seamlessly.
Family and Fitness Bond
The recent Instagram story not only highlights Helen’s fitness journey but also underscores the strong bond she shares with her family. Arbaaz Khan and Shura Khan got married in an intimate nikah ceremony on December 24 at Arpita Khan Sharma’s residence in Mumbai. Arbaaz announced their union on Instagram, expressing his joy and seeking blessings from fans and well-wishers. The ceremony was attended by close friends and family members. Arbaaz was previously married to Malaika Arora, with whom he shares a son, Arhaan. Although they separated in 2016 and divorced in 2017, the family has remained supportive of each other. Arbaaz also dated Giorgia Andriani, but they called it quits last year.
Helen’s dedication to fitness and her close-knit family ties continue to inspire fans and admirers. Her journey serves as a reminder that it’s never too late to pursue a healthy lifestyle and cherish the bonds that matter most.
