Mithun Chakraborty’s First Wife, ‘Mard’ Actress Helena Luke Passes Away In USA

New Delhi: Not many people know that actor Mithun Chakraborty was married before he tied the knot with Yogita Bali. His first wife, Helena Luke passed away in the USA on Sunday. Her friend, dancer and actress Kalpana Iyer, shared the sad news on social media.

Helena was well-known for her role in the 1985 film “Mard,” starring Amitabh Bachchan. She was married to Mithun for only four months, and their marriage ended quickly.

In her last Facebook post, Helena wrote about feeling strange and confused. She used the words “mixed emotions” and “discombobulated,” showing that she was dealing with some difficult feelings.
In an old interview, Helena described her short marriage with Mithun as a “hazy dream.” She revealed that she wished it had never happened. She had said that Mithun convinced her he was the right man for her, but later she felt he had misled her. She remembered how Mithun had promised her father that he would treat her wonderfully, calling her the “9th wonder of the world.” However, once they were married, she felt very alone. She spoke about Mithun’s possessive nature and how he often accused her of seeing her ex-boyfriend, Javed, behind his back. Despite her efforts to convince him otherwise, he remained suspicious.

In the interview, Helena expressed her frustration with Mithun, saying that he was immature and selfish. She felt much older than him, even though he was years her senior. She talked about how his jealousy made her life difficult and how she eventually realized he had a guilt complex, meaning he was often worried about his own actions and projected those feelings onto her.

After their divorce, Helena mentioned that she had no desire to return to Mithun, even if he became very rich. She described her marriage as a “nightmare” and was clear that it was behind her. She did not ask for alimony, showing her determination to move on with her life.
