The legendary scriptwriter, Salim Khan had married Sushila Charak, a.k.a., Salma Khan in 1954 after a five-year-long relationship. It was love at first sight for them and together they have three sons, Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, and a daughter Alvira Khan. It was in the mid-1960s when Salim had helped Helen bag several projects in Bollywood, which had formed a great professional relationship between them.

Gradually, Salim Khan and Helen’s professional camaraderie had flourished on the personal level too and by the late 70s, he was ready to take their relationship to a new level. An already married Salim Khan wanted to marry Helen and in 1980, they had tied the knot.

In a throwback interview with the Filmfare, Salman Khan had talked about how his mother, Salma Khan was hurt with his father, Salim Khan’s second marriage to Helen. After Salim’s second wedding, Salma had accepted his decision without making an issue. Salman had mentioned that he used to hate how his mother waited for his father to come home. He had said:

"I can’t bear to see her unhappy. She was very hurt when my father married again; I’d hate it when she’d wait up for him to come home. Then, gradually, mom started accepting it. Dad explained to us that he still loved mom and that he’ll always be around. I was about 10 at that time and it took us quite some time to really accept Helen aunty. Today she’s a part of our family."
