Tragic News Confirmed
Helena Luke, the former wife of Bollywood star Mithun Chakraborty, has sadly passed away in the United States. Her death was announced on social media by fellow actor and dancer Kalpana Iyer, prompting an outpouring of tributes and condolences online. Helena died on November 3, although the cause of her death has not yet been disclosed.
A Brief Marriage
Best known for her role in the classic 1985 film Mard alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Helena had a tumultuous marriage with Mithun Chakraborty that lasted just four months. In past interviews, she described this period as a “hazy dream,” expressing regret over how it unfolded. In a candid moment with Stardust Magazine, Helena reflected, “I only wish it hadn’t happened. He was the one who brainwashed me into believing he was the man for me.”
Disillusionment with Fame
Despite the initial glamour of their relationship, Helena’s experience was fraught with challenges. She recounted how Mithun had promised her father that he would treat her like the “ninth wonder of the world,” yet she felt increasingly isolated and abandoned during their short time together.
In another interview, Helena characterized Mithun as possessive and immature, accusing him of projecting his insecurities onto her. “I really believed him when he said he loved me. But as I got to know him better, I realized he loved no one but himself,” she shared, firmly ruling out any chance of reconciliation.
Final Reflections
On the morning of her passing, Helena took to social media to share her struggles, posting, “Feeling weird. Mixed emotions and no clue why, discombobulated.” This poignant message serves as a reminder of her complex emotional journey.
