I used to come over, mommy (Salma) was very nice and then things have been tough even at that point and for mom.

Helen Khan further mentioned, “I never ever wanted a separation from the family. I would never have stayed on I couldn’t take that and of course, a lot of credit goes to Mom. she must have gone through a lot at that time, I’m 100 sure of it but again I think Destiny brought me close to all of you and I must thank all of you.”

Helen even recalled the time when she used to hide from Salma Khan whenever she used to pass Bandstand in her car. “In the beginning, did you know what I used to do? When I used to pass Bandstand and I would know something mommy is standing on the balcony I would duck down right down so that she wouldn’t see me and the car would be empty going past your house right I used to have gone through that I respect so much,” she said.
