Helen talked about her first meeting with Salim Khan
Coming to her personal life, Helen has frequently dominated headlines over her marriage to Salim Khan. The diva married the screenwriter at a time when he was already married to his wife, Salma Khan and was a father of their kids. Speaking along the same lines, Helen, in an earlier conversation with his step-son, Arbaaz Khan’s show, remembered the first time that she crossed paths with Salim Khan. She narrated:
“I didn’t notice Salim Khan, not because of being a star, but because I was very to myself. One day, he asked Ajit saab ‘yeh madam kisi ko dekhte bhi nahi, wish bhi nahi karte. So he said ‘pucho mat, yeh sab logo ko furniture ke jaise dikhti hain.”
Helen says she had tremendous respect for Salim Khan’s first wife, Salma Khan
In the same interview, Helen added that at no point during her relationship or subsequent marriage with Salim Khan, did she want to separate his first wife, Salma Khan from his life. Instead, Helen added that she had tremendous respect for the latter and thought it best to keep distance from her. Helen expressed:
“In the beginning, what I used to do, you know when I used to pass Bandstand, and I would know sometimes Mummy [Salma] is standing in the balcony, I would duck right down so she would not see me and think that the car would be empty near your house. I used to keep her respect so much.”
