Till the age of 42 she used to dance wearing those daring outfits which today's girls won't even fit to as they are out by the time they're thirty.
Three books were written on her dance career along with a 30-minute documentary called 'Helen Queen of the Nautch girls' which was released in 1973 by Merchant Ivory Productions.
Even after she retired from the screen a long time back, Helen continued to make few occasional guest appearances in 1999 and 2000.
In Mohabbatein, she plays a no non sense Head of a girl's school who suddenly shakes a leg on the dance floor, much to the surprise and entertainment of the audience. Her special appearance as Salman Khan's mother in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" was also a delight to watch.
