18 Feb
Summary
- Salman Khan initially struggled to accept his father's second wife, Helen.
- Salim Khan married actress Helen in 1980 after his first marriage.
- The Khan family, including children, eventually embraced Helen wholeheartedly.
Salim Khan, a renowned Hindi cinema screenwriter, navigated complex family dynamics following his second marriage to actress Helen in 1980. His first wife, Sushila Charak (Salma Khan), and their children, including Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, and Sohail Khan, initially found it challenging to accept Helen.
Salman Khan reflected in a past interview that his mother, Salma, was deeply hurt by his father's remarriage but eventually came to terms with it. Salman himself admitted it took him and his siblings considerable time to accept Helen, describing the process as difficult.
Helen also expressed feelings of guilt early on for marrying Salim Khan, who was already married. However, she respected him for his support without exploitation. Over the years, the initial reservations faded, and Helen became a beloved member of the Khan family.
Today, Helen is an active participant in significant family events, including Salim and Salma Khan's 61st wedding anniversary. Salman Khan reportedly dotes on Helen, ensuring she receives identical gifts to those he buys for his mother, Salma.
