Not many know that she was a refugee from Burma, who grew up in Mumbai in abject poverty and began dancing to support her family. Helen’s journey from being the film industry’s dancing diva to Mrs Salim Khan is worthy of cinematic treatment.
And that’s what the Khan parivar seems to be wanting too. A biopic on the life of the legendary Helen is apparently being planned.
