Actress , who was ‘s first wife passed away on Sunday in the USA. The dancer and actress Kalpana Iyer shared the news of her demise on social media.

The actress shared her last post on Facebook at 9:20 am on Sunday as she wrote, ‘Feeling weird. Mixed emotions and no clue why, discombobulated’.
Helena had called the four-month-old marriage with Mithun a hazy dream in an interview with Stardust Magazine. She said, ‘I only wish it hadn’t happened, he was the one who brainwashed me into believing that he was the man for me, unfortunately, he succeeded. 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.’
She continued saying that, ‘I really believed him when he told me that he loved me. But when I got to know him better, I realized that he loved no one but himself. He was extremely immature, and though I was years younger than him, I felt much older. He was very possessive and accused me of seeing my ex-boyfriend Javed on the sly. I used to go blue in the face trying to convince him that I didn’t, but couldn’t succeed in eradicating his deep-rooted suspicious nature. It was only later that I realized he had a guilt complex. He himself was fooling around my back and thought I was doing the same.’
Talking about her career in Bollywood, she did films like Mard and Do Gulab. Post her divorce with Mithun, the actress moved to the United States, where she settled and worked in the airline industry.
