Mithun Chakraborty and Helena Luke’s Marriage

According to The Indian Express, Helena had once described her brief marriage to Mithun Chakraborty as a "hazy dream" in an interview with Stardust Magazine. "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 revealed.

The marriage, which lasted only four months, was marked by complications. Helena had shared with the magazine that despite Mithun's promises to her father to treat her like the "9th wonder of the world," the reality was starkly different. "I really believed him when he told me that he loved me. But when I got to know him better, I realised that he loved no one but himself," she stated in the interview.

She further elaborated on their relationship's breakdown, citing issues of possessiveness and maturity differences. "He was extremely immature, and though I was years younger than him, I felt much older," Helena had revealed, adding that she never sought alimony after their separation.

Her role in Mard alongside Amitabh Bachchan remains one of her most remembered performances, showcasing her versatility as an artist. Despite the personal turmoil surrounding her marriage to Mithun Chakraborty, Helena managed to maintain her professional dignity and later built a new life in the United States, working with one of the world's leading airlines.
