Long before she became one of Bollywood’s most iconic dancers, actor Helen faced a personal crisis when her ex-husband, filmmaker P N Arora, threw her out of her own home, eventually forcing her to seek help from an unlikely quarter — ‘the Mumbai underworld’, reveals a new book, ‘When It All Began: The Untold Stories of the Underworld’.

Published by Parlour News

It was a strip of paper with a mobile number scribbled on it lying near the “bhootiya pool” (haunted well) in Govandi that helped the Mumbai police crack the murder case of an interfaith couple last year. In October 2023, a couple of children went to swim in an isolated well located on the edge of a forest in Govandi. While swimming, one of the boys’ legs touched a body. The children immediately sounded an alert and the local Govandi police were informed. A fire brigade team rushed to the spot and fished the body out. The police then started searching the area when they found a small wallet-like packet among alcohol bottles strewn in the area. When the police opened the packet, they found a note with a mobile number scrawled on it. The police called the number but no one answered. The police then checked the call data records of the number and found the number of another person who had presumably dialled the deceased. The hunch paid off when the person they …
