Helen exclusively told us, “Knowing your father, everybody knows him, he is a very generous, just, fair and very compassionate person. in those days he must have heard of me going through a lot of court cases and all that because of that he gave me a role in Imaandaar, then Dostana, Don and then we became friends. I used to come over, mommy (Salma) was very nice and then things have been tough even at that point and for mom.”

I would never have stayed on I couldn’t take that and of course, a lot of credit goes to Mom. she must have gone through a lot at that time, I’m 100 sure of it but again I think Destiny brought me close to all of you and I must thank all of you.”
