Megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared an anecdote about the veteran actress Helen, and talked about how she had escaped from the Japanese occupation of Burma in 1943, during the World War 2, and came to India. Helen is a well known dancer and is known for her character roles. Born in Rangoon, Burma (now known as Myanmar), Helen’s family trekked to Dibrugarh, Assam in 1943 in order to escape from the Japanese occupation of Burma.
Later on, Helen got her major break at the age of 19 in 1958, when she performed on the song `Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu` in the movie ‘Howrah Bridge’. With legendary actor Shammi Kapoor, she did many hit dance numbers like `Suku Suku` in `Junglee`, `Yamma Yamma` in `China Town`, and `O Haseena Zulfonwali` in `Teesri Manzil`.
