Further, the veteran star recalled using a walking cane due to knee problems. However, her condition has now significantly improved and she is likely to resume dancing again. Karachiwala also acknowledged Helen’s newly found love for pilates.
The veteran actress continued that pilates gives her a natural high, eliminating the need for drinking and smoking. She even thanked her instructors, especially Bimal, for helping her through the practice.
Helen also revealed that Karachiwala consistently urged her to practice pilates daily but she kept postponing. Feeling guilty about repeatedly avoiding the practice, she finally decided to embark on the fitness journey promising the fitness trainer that she would never miss another pilates class.
Helen’s influence on Indian cinema can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s when she became a sensation with her role in the 1958 classic Howrah Bridge. Featured in more than 600 films, her notable films include Gumnaam, Kaajal, Jewel Thief, Yakeen, The Train and Caravan.
