Reflecting on her life, Helen celebrated her 87th birthday on November 21 with a grand party attended by friends and family in Mumbai. As she made her entrance, she graciously greeted the paparazzi with a smile and a namaste.
Her illustrious journey in Bollywood began when she was introduced by actor Cuckoo.
