Known for her elegance and a dash of glamour, Helena Luke – Mithun Chakraborty’s first wife – has left this world, passing away in the USA on November 3. The Bollywood actress and model was beloved for her roles in films like Do Gulab, Ek Naya Rishta, and Mard. Her passing, reportedly from an undisclosed illness, was confirmed by actress Kalpana Iyer in a heart-wrenching social media post, and fans are reeling from the news.
Helena luke’s Last Facebook Post
Just a day before her passing, Helena took to Facebook to share what would become a hauntingly mysterious final post. She wrote, “Feeling weird. Mixed emotions and no clue why… discombobulated.” Fans and followers are now looking at these words with new eyes, wondering if they hinted at her final hours or were a final goodbye.
Mithun Chakraborty and Helena’s Short-Lived Marriage
In 1979, Helena and Mithun’s whirlwind romance led to a wedding that everyone was talking about. But just four months in, the spark fizzled, and they went their separate ways, ending their marriage almost as quickly as it began. By the end of that year, Mithun had already married actress Yogeeta Bali, with whom he shared a much longer chapter of his life.
In a tell-all with Stardust Magazine, Helena didn’t hold back, revealing that she felt “brainwashed” by Mithun Chakraborty. “He was the one who brainwashed me into believing that he was the man for me, unfortunately, he succeeded,” she shared, hinting at a whirlwind of emotions during those four months. She later added, “I’ll never go back to him even if he is the richest guy around.” Her words painted a picture of a relationship filled with misunderstandings, suspicions, and what she called Mithun’s “possessive streak.”
Helena even revealed how Mithun Chakraborty would accuse her of secretly meeting her ex-boyfriend Javed. “I used to go blue in the face trying to convince him that I didn’t, but couldn’t succeed in eradicating his deep-rooted suspicious nature. It was only later that I realised he had a guilt complex,” she said. Ironically, Helena later discovered Mithun had been fooling around behind her back – a truth that finally put things in perspective.
Helena’s Legacy
With a Turkish father and an Anglo-Indian mother, Helena brought a unique charm to Bollywood that was as iconic as it was unforgettable. From Romance to Yeh Nazdeekiyan, her talent lit up the screen alongside industry legends like Amitabh Bachchan in Mard. Her legacy in Bollywood will always be remembered for that touch of elegance and versatility she brought to her roles.
