Be it Malaika Arora or Madhuri Dixit in Bollywood, it is difficult to guess the age of these actresses by looking at the way they keep themselves fit with increasing age. Now the name of Salman Khan’s mother and famous dancer of the 70s Helen has also been added to this list of fitness queens.
Even at the age of 86, Helen Khan is competing with young actresses like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt not only with her beauty, but also in terms of fitness.
Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt’s fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala has revealed how Salim Khan’s second wife Helen Khan is sweating at the age of 86 and how she gave up the support of a stick.
Yasmin told YouTube channel ‘Masoom Minawala’, “90 percent of people don’t do strength training. As you get older, you should do strength training because our bones start to weaken. It’s very important to protect your bones. My oldest client today is Helen Khan, who is 86 years old. She works out 6 days a week and she feels great.”
Yasmin Karachiwala also talked about 86-year-old Helen’s workout routine and said that she does Pilates and also does some strength training and battle rope. When she came to my studio, she used to walk with the help of a stick, but now she walks without any support. She doesn’t even know where her stick is. She tells me that my stick must be lying in some corner of the house, I haven’t seen it for a long time.
It is worth noting that Helen started her career in 1951 with the film ‘Shabistan’ and gained immense popularity with songs like ‘Mera Naam Chin-Chin Chu’.
