Around the end of the 1970s Mithun Chakraborty and Sarika were working in a film and rumour has it that the two young people grew close in real life. Little is known about their relationship or whether it ever developed to the point where a marriage to Sarika Mithun Chakraborty could have been possible. However rumours have it that the couple had a brief courtship before breaking up suddenly. According to rumours Sarika dumped Mithun for unexplained reasons leaving him in a desperate search for new love.
According to reports Mithun and Sridevi's romance dates back to the late 1980s. While Sridevi was getting her start Mithun was already well-known and married to Yogeeta Bali. The couple supposedly first connected at a work event where they experienced the spark they had been looking for. They soon began dating and their relationship resulted in their covert nuptials.
They were reportedly married for eight years from 1985 to 1988 before Sridevi wed Boney. Boney and Mithun were close friends from the beginning but their relationship took a turn for the worst when Boney interfered with their supposed nuptials. In the midst of the rumours about their romance a story said that Mithun had made Sridevi tie a rakhi around Boney's wrist as evidence that nothing was happening between them.
Later Yogeeta allegedly made an attempt on her life after learning of Sridevi and Mithun's marriage. Even if he has a second wife Yogeeta told a prominent newspaper that she will still accept the proposal. According to reports Sridevi learned at this point that Mithun was still legally married to Yogeeta despite his claims to the contrary. As soon as Sridevi realised that Mithun wouldn't ever hurt or abandon Yogeeta she allegedly got her marriage to Mithun annulled and separated in 1988.

Together Mithun Chakraborty and Madhuri Dixit have worked on the movies Prem Pratigya Mujrim and Pyaar ka Devta. Madhuri Dixit captured Mithun's attention as well. It's no secret that Madhuri Dixit dated Mithun Chakraborty after her breakup with Anil Kapoor because he has always been well-liked by women.

However their union only lasted four months. Their divorce was brought on by Mithun's affair with Yogita Bali. Helena currently resides in New York and works as a flight attendant for an airline following her divorce from Mithun Chakraborty.
The romance between Yogita Bali and Mithun Chakraborty was also highly dramatic. Kishore Kumar's third wife was Yogita Bali. On the Khwab sets Mithun Chakraborty and Yogeeta Bali became close friends and their bond flourished. The rumored affair between Bali and Chakraborty is credited for ending their respective damaged unions with Mithun and Helena Luke.

In 1979 they got married. At the actor's house they got married on the registry after four years of dating. One would have assumed Yogeeta Bali and Mithun Chakraborty would have a happily ever after given their previous unsuccessful relationships. However this marriage experienced some difficulties in the middle of the 1980s when there were rumours that Chakraborty was having a secret affair with Sridevi. A secret marriage is also rumoured to have occurred however it has never been proven. Bali allegedly left Chakraborty's house with her two small children but she never actually left the marriage.
