It seems that they are defying the law of nature. Soutens (second wife) cannot be sahelis (friend)? Here is a classic case.After writer Salim Khan married dancer-actress Helen, not only did he give her a shoulder to lean on but also a family to belong to. Credit goes to both the women, Salim`s first wife Salma and Helen, who have worked out a beautiful equation between themselves.

Not only do the two follow the same salwar-kameez dress code but also share everything from giggles to gourmet, both being aware that the way to keep their miya (Helen`s endearment for Salim) hooked, is through his taste buds. When Salim and Salma`s son, Salman was recently arrested, Helen accompanied Salma for every hearing, praying quietly for the son who is known to have facilitated her acceptance in the Khan kabeela. Many a times she was spotted comforting mama Salma. The day Salman was released, the co-sisters, celebrated with tears of joy.

Helen, who over the years has known to turn towards spirituality, is very much inclined towards yoga, Reiki and charity. Only recently she was seen at a hospital, tending to her gardener who had a cardiac problem. In times when feminism is a much flaunted weapon, women like Helen and Salma have proved that co-existence is a sweeter one.
