New Delhi: Veteran writer Salim Khan, who fell in love with Helen, was married to Salma Khan and had four children: Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, and Alvira Khan. Though there may have been some early conflicts within the family due to his marriage to the well-known dancer, the Khan clan as a whole now resides as one large happy family. During a recent conversation, Arbaaz stated that Salim, Salma, and Helen are now "inseparable" and that although they have faced challenges along the way, they have moved past them.
During a chat with Bollywood Bubble, Arbaaz stated that his father never imposed their step-mother Helen, onto them. Talking about Helen and their father's relationship, the actor-producer said, "He knew for these kids their mother is very important and I have another woman in my life but she has her own space. She too never tried to separate us. She was just happy that there was somebody in her life who was just going to be there for her and she knew that he had his own family, his wife, his kids and she didn’t want to disturb that.”
Arbaaz admitted that it was difficult for his mother to deal with the circumstances at that time, but then, she found her own way of dealing with it. He shared, "It was difficult for my Mom at that point but she dealt with it in her own way because she… Whatever their reasons were to keep things going. Whether it was children or circumstances or just the fact that you felt that okay fine this has happened but now, I still need to be around this man or he felt that I still need to be around this woman. They’ve had their own struggles and we’ve seen it as kids but they’ve gone through that. They could tide through that."
Arbaaz also spoke about his parent's current equation and mentioned that in today's time, they are "inseparable." "My dad holds my mom’s hand today and sits… so beautiful. He just keeps calling her and making her sit next to him and so it looks beautiful… all of this,” he said.
During an earlier interview, Arbaaz had also mentioned that Helen "never ever wanted a separation from the family" and credited Salman Khan for keeping the entire family together.
