Helena Luke, Mithun Chakraborty’s first wife and known for her role in Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Mard’, passes away in the USA.
Actress Helena Luke, who was Mithun Chakraborty’s first wife, died on Sunday in the USA. Dancer and actress Kalpana Iyer announced her passing on social media. Helena was best known for her performance in Amitabh Bachchan’s 1985 film Mard. She was married to Mithun for four months, but their marriage ended within four months.
Helena’s final Facebook post was made at 9:20 am on Sunday, where she expressed, “Feeling weird. Mixed emotions and no clue why, discombobulated.”
In a past interview, Helena referred to her four-month marriage to Mithun as a “hazy dream.” She told Stardust Magazine, “I only wish it hadn’t happened; he was the one who brainwashed me into believing he was the man for me, and unfortunately, he succeeded.” Despite rumors of a possible reconciliation with Mithun, Helena stated, “I’ll never go back to him, even if he is the richest guy around. I haven’t even asked for alimony; it was a nightmare, and it’s over.”
Helena Luke, actress and first wife of Mithun Chakraborty, passed away on Sunday in the USA. Her close friend, dancer and actress Kalpana Iyer, announced the news on social media. Helena was best known for her role in the 1985 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Mard. She and Mithun were married briefly, but their relationship ended within four months.
In what would be her final Facebook post on Sunday at 9:20 am, Helena wrote, “Feeling weird. Mixed emotions and no clue why, discombobulated.”
Reflecting on her brief marriage in a past interview with Stardust magazine, Helena described it as a “hazy dream” she wished had never happened. “He was the one who convinced me he was the man for me, but unfortunately, he succeeded,” she shared. Despite past rumors of reconciliation, Helena was firm in her decision to move on, saying, “I’ll never go back to him, even if he is the richest guy around. I didn’t even ask for alimony; it was a nightmare, and it’s over.”
Helena revealed that Mithun had assured her father he would treat her like the “ninth wonder of the world,” yet left her feeling abandoned. “I truly believed he loved me, but I soon realized he only loved himself. Though I was younger, I felt older due to his extreme possessiveness and jealousy, especially regarding my ex-boyfriend Javed,” she recalled, adding that Mithun’s accusations were often driven by his own insecurities.
Reports suggest that Helena’s health had been declining, and her failure to seek timely medical treatment may have contributed to her passing.
