![Helen]() "I have had my days, but I do roles which are close to me or for friends or family. I am a sentimental person and therefore I do selective films. But hey, I can be back anytime to give all the item girls of today a run for their money. I am taking my own sweet time to select roles or do films. I have different priorities now", - Helen
