MUMBAI : Well known Hindi film script writer Salim Khan reveals marrying actress Helen was not a spontaneous decision and how he revealed the truth not only to his first wife Salma but also to his 5 children. He has said that he did not want his wife Salma to find out about his affair through gossip magazines and was the first person to tell her the same.
He said, “My decision to marry Helen was not because I was disillusioned by my marriage or main pareshaan tha. It wasn’t a spontaneous decision that I want to get married to Helen. I took a long time. I was the first person to tell Salma that Helen is there in my life, before she could hear it from gossip magazines or anyone else.”
He said that the children were quite small and thus they did not have a choice but he credited his wife Salma for handling the situation well. He further revealed, “When I told her, she obviously didn’t shake hands with me and told me what a wonderful thing I was doing. Of course, we had problems, but for a very short time. After that, everything was accepted. I told my children at that time, when they were very young, that they won’t understand it now but when they grow up they would. I told them, ‘I have got another person in my life. I have married her. I do not expect anything from you. I don’t expect you to love her as much as you love your mother, but I want you to give her the same respect.”

He further added, “When I look back, these things don’t function with a technique. You have to be honest about it, you have to commit. I could have gone on with Helen, she probably wouldn’t have objected to it or suffered it. But my religion had given me a sanction of marrying again and I wanted to give her a status, that’s why I married her.”
