Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan remembers first wife Salma’s sarcastic reaction to his affair with Helen: “You should get an award for it”
When it comes to influential families in Bollywood, we cannot miss Salman Khan’s family. The superstar’s father, Salim Khan, is an accomplished screenwriter and was responsible for some of the biggest hits in Hindi cinema, including Sholay, which was released in 1975. He recently recalled on a talk show that his affair with Helen was originally an emotional accident. Scroll below to read the details.
Actor Arbaaz Khan hosts a chat show, The Invincibles With Arbaaz Khan, where he talks to prominent personalities in the industry. Recently, he indulged in a frank conversation with his father Salim Khan and talked about his personal life, including his second marriage to Helen. Interestingly, Arbaaz’s father gave some honest answers without feeling uncomfortable.
In the new promo of Arbaaz Khan’s chat show, Salim Khan recalled how his affair with the popular dancer/actor Helen was an emotional accident as it started when Helen needed work. He said, “She was in trouble because she was out of work. She had reached an age where it was hard to play those kinds of roles anymore. She came to me and our work went very well. Within a few days she got a job and they started spending more time together.”
The veteran screenwriter bared his heart, adding: “She was young, I was young too. Mera aisa koi iraada nahi tha. Maine sirf madad kiya tha. She began to respect my gesture and attitude. I always say that love is rooted in respect. You can’t love someone who doesn’t respect you.” He also revealed how he told this news to his first Salma Khan.
He also recalled how his wife Salma didn’t say a word after watching the news of Salim Khan marry Helena. He said, ‘(Salma) didn’t say you did a good thing, you should get an award for it. This is an emotional accident. Kisi ke saath bhi ho sakta hai.”
Continuing the conversation, Arbaaz Khan also revealed that Salim Khan’s children initially did not agree with the decision, but as they grew older, they understood the situation.
For the inexperienced Invincibles, Arbaaz Khan will air on Bollywood Bubble’s YouTube channel and the chat show will witness many more experienced actors on the show, including Waheeda Rehman, and Mahesh Bhattamong other things.
