Actress Helena Luke passed away in the USA on November 3 (November 4 morning in India). She was the first wife of actor Mithun Chakraborty. They were briefly married for four months.
The fair and light-eyed Helena appeared in films like Saath Saath, Mard, Aao Pyar Karen and Yeh Nazdeekiyan. She had also acted in several Gujarati films. She has many Gujarati stage plays to her credit, several of them with actor Dinyar Contractor. After her stint in acting, she became an airhostess and moved to New York in 1984.
Incidentally, Helena’s last Facebook post made just a day before her demise was suggestive of a premonition. Describing her confusion, she wrote, “Feeling weird… mixed emotions and no clue why. Discombobulated.”
