According to several media reports, Mithun was desperate to be in a relationship after his breakup with veteran actress, Sarika. At the same time, model-cum-actress, Helena Luke was also going through the same situation, post her breakup from her five-year-old relationship with popular actor, Javed Khan. It was then, Mithun and Helena came together as they needed each other and got married in 1979. But, the couple parted ways within four months of their marriage.

According to Helena, the reason behind her break up with Mithun was his extra-marital affair with the actress, Yogeeta Bali. Moreover, Helena had also talked about Mithun's suspicious nature towards her, which was also one of the reasons that she filed for a divorce. Three years after their divorce, in an interview with Stardust, Helena was asked about the reconciliation with Mithun. To which, she revealed the toxic nature of her relationship and had said:

“This four-month old marriage of mine is like a hazy dream now. I only wish it hadn’t happened. He was the one who brainwashed me into believing that he was the man for me. Unfortunately, he succeeded. I was the one who walked out on him and asked for a divorce. He may be a star now, but that does not change my plans. I’ll never go back to him even if he is the richest guy around. I haven’t even asked for alimony. It was a nightmare and it’s over. I wish Mithun would stop talking about me. What I hate about Mithun is the way he treats his women as publicity props by discussing them and talking about them. As for me, this is the last time I’m speaking on this man. In a few months, our divorce will come through and he can do whatever he likes after that.”

After her divorce from Mithun Chakraborty, Helena disappeared from Bollywood and went on to live in New York. She worked there as a flight attendant at an airline. In the same interview, Helena had also mentioned Mithun's insecurity and suspicious attitude towards her. Helena had revealed:

"He was very possessive and accused me of seeing my ex-boyfriend, Javed on the sly. I used to go blue in the face trying to convince him that I didn’t, but couldn’t succeed in eradicating his deep-rooted suspicious nature. It was only later that I realised he had a guilt complex. He himself was fooling around behind my back and thought I was doing the same. Even if we bumped into him accidentally, Mithun insisted I had planned the meeting.”

Mithun Chakraborty's long-lasting marriage with Kishore Kumar's ex-wife, Yogeeta Bali

Afterwards, Mithun tied the knot with the actress, Yogeeta Bali in 1979. For the unversed, Yogeeta had earlier got hitched to Indian playback singer, Kishore Kumar in 1976, only to divorce him in 1978. Then, Stardust approached Yogeeta and asked her about the rumours that she was in a live-in relationship with Mithun and waiting for his divorce from Helena. To this, Yogeeta rubbished all the speculations and had said:

“It’s a lie. I’ve heard about it too and I would like to know who is responsible for such filth. I live here in my own flat with my brother and my mother. I will go to his house only after my marriage.”

In the same conversation, Yogeeta was also quizzed about her marriage with Kishore Kumar and whether it was a rebound with Mithun post her divorce from her former husband. To this, she mentioned that her marriage with Kishore Kumar wasn't consummated. She also talked about leaving her career behind and giving marriage her top priority:

“I’ve had my problems. Though my first marriage with Kishore Kumar broke up, I was not disillusioned with love, for I never loved him. My marriage with him was never consummated and so it hasn’t put me off the institution of marriage either. I am a very homely person. I’d rather sit at home washing nappies and waiting for him to get back, than sit in studios waiting for the stars to turn up. I would give up everything for marriage. Mithun has to just tell me he wants me, and I’ll be there!”

However, after collectively living for three years, in 1987, when Boney Kapoor started getting closer to Sridevi, Mithun's wife, Yogeeta got to know about her husband's extra-marital affair. This also strained the friendship between Mithun and Boney forever.
