Veteran Bollywood star Mithun Chakraborty‘s first and ex-wife Helena Luke passed away. She got divorced from Mithan Chakraborty after four months of marriage. Helena played the role of a British queen in Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Mard’.
Helena Luke died in America. The news of his death was announced by the famous yesteryear actress Kalpana Iyer (of ‘Pardesi Pardesi Jaana Nahi’ fame). After his marriage to Helena Luke ended, Mithun Chakraborty married the famous actress Yogeeta Bali.
Helena also acted in Bhai Akhir Bhai Hota Hai, Aao Pyaar Kareen, Do Gulab and a few other Bollywood movies, but she preferred to stay away from the limelight and did not even attend film parties.
In the last post of her life on Facebook on Sunday, Helena Luke wrote that she does not understand anything, her mind is confused, there is no end to any matter.
Helena has repeatedly said that marrying Mithun was the biggest mistake of her life. He was very selfish and loved no one but himself. And that even if he becomes the richest man in the world, I would not like to be with him again.

Mithun Chakraborty is one of the most talented actors of Bollywood. He won the National Award for his first film ‘Manthan’.

After the huge success of the 1982 film ‘Disco Dancer’, there was no looking back for Mithun Chakraborty. He was recently honored with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his outstanding services in the film world.

**Interview with Film Historian Dr. Riya Sharma**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Sharma. We are here to discuss the recent passing of Helena Luke, veteran actor and former wife of Mithun Chakraborty. What are your thoughts on her contributions to cinema?
**Dr. Sharma:** Thank you for having me. Helena Luke’s passing is indeed a sad moment for the film industry. While her time in Bollywood was relatively short, she made a memorable impact, particularly with her role as a British queen in Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Mard.’ That role showcased her talent and ability to blend into the Indian film landscape, despite her western background.
**Interviewer:** It’s unfortunate that her marriage to Mithun Chakraborty was brief. Do you think this affected her career in any way?
**Dr. Sharma:** It’s quite possible. Often in the industry, personal relationships can overshadow professional achievements, especially with high-profile marriages. Helena’s marriage to Mithun lasted only four months, and post-divorce, her visibility in mainstream cinema seemed to decline. However, her unique persona and performances in her limited work still resonate with fans today.
**Interviewer:** Helena passed away at the age of 68. Do we know anything about her life after her departure from Bollywood?
**Dr. Sharma:** Details about her life post-Bollywood remain somewhat private, as she stepped away from the limelight. It’s reported that she lived in America for many years. It seems she valued her privacy after her film career, which is something many artists choose as they transition out of the public eye.
**Interviewer:** Her death was publicized by actress Kalpana Iyer. What does this say about the connections within the industry?
**Dr. Sharma:** The announcement by Kalpana Iyer illustrates the bonds that remain among actors, irrespective of the decades that have passed or the ups and downs of their careers. It shows a sense of community and support within the industry, especially during difficult times. Such announcements often resonate within the larger film fraternity, reaffirming the bonds formed through shared experiences.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Sharma, for sharing your insights. Helena Luke may have left us, but her contributions to Indian cinema will certainly be remembered.
**Dr. Sharma:** Absolutely. It’s important to honor her legacy and the roles she took on that added to the richness of Indian cinema.
