Notedly, Helen shares a close bond with yesteryear actresses Waheeda Rehman and Asha Parekh.

Talking about their friendship, she says, they still travel together and make great memories.

They used to be a big group of friends from the film industry and would celebrate special occasions. Shammi and Nanda used to be part of our friend’s group as well, but they are no more.

Notably, Helen also shares a special connect with Bandra and attends midnight mass at St Andrew’s Church on Christmas Eve with her friends. She loves how every home is decorated with fairy lights at this time of the year. It’s truly a melting pot of cultures, and everyone comes together to celebrate the festival. She also sends gift hampers to the local hospital for the less fortunate.

She moved to different parts of Mumbai after coming to India and joining films but kept returning to Bandra, it’s a special connection. Especially after marriage Bandra became home and it’s where she has lived most of her life. Although the bungalows that existed in the past have gone and now the area is full of Towers.
