"I sat all the kids down and discussed it with them. I told them, You won't understand it now, but you will get it when you're older. I am in love with Helen aunty, and I know you can't love her as much as you love your mother, but I want the same respect for her," Salim Khan recalled.
Meanwhile, Arbaaz Khan also talked about how his mother Salma Khan never "never influenced us to think or say anything against" Salim Khan and Helen. "She had her troubles, but she never influenced us to think, Your dad is like this or this what he is doing. Never," said Arbaaz Khan. He added, "We still call her aunty because she was Helen aunty at that time. Though we treat her as a mother, we call her Helen aunty. She is part of our lives. More than us, my mom ensures that she is part of everything."
Helen married screenwriter Salim Khan in 1981. She got her break in 1958 when she performed the song Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo in the movie Howrah Bridge and she has featured in hit tracks like Mehbooba Mehbooba and Yeh Mera Dil among others.
