If ever there were truth in the adage that truth is stranger than fiction, it would apply in the case of Jillian Haslam. Born in Calcutta to parents with British ancestry in post-colonial India, Jillian faced a bruising childhood of extreme poverty, malnutrition & disease. She lived through the deaths of four siblings and some appalling instances of racist abuse. Her rise from the depths of despair and misery to wealth and international celebrity status is an inspirational story of vindication and coming home.

Jillian’s is an amazing tale of a gritty climb to success, wealth, international fame and honour. Titled Indian.English. A Memoir, her book is an international bestseller with extensive rave reviews in Indian and International press with her being dubbed the “Real Slumdog Millionaire” and the story being turned into a Hollywood production.

Jillian is passionate about giving back and works tirelessly with 6 of her teams to do just that. She received the first runner-up award for The Asian Woman of the Year (UK- 2012 ); The True Legend Award (The Telegraph- 2015); The Star Recognition Award (UK – 2015) and the Award for Excellence in Humanitarianism (India – 2016).
