To take forward the UK-India Free Trade Deal (FTA), Seema Malhotra, MP from Feltham and Heston seat and Britain’s first shadow minister of Indian origin, began her first official visit to India on Thursday. Seema Malhotra is a person who has beautifully woven her family’s heritage and social values into politics. She is the daughter of an ordinary Indian family and is handling important responsibilities in the British government.
Seema Malhotra was born on 7 August 1972 in Hammersmith, London. Since childhood, she was associated with Feltham and Heston areas of West London, where many families of Indian origin had settled. The environment here strengthened within him the feeling of working for social justice and equality. When he entered Parliament in December 2011 after winning the by-election from Feltham and Heston, it was not just a political beginning but a new chapter in his long journey related to the community.
The family came to Britain from Punjab
His family has been deeply connected to India. His parents came to Britain from Punjab in the 1960s. The family struck a balance between Punjabi Hindu traditions and the British lifestyle at home. Seema Malhotra believes that her heritage has given her “hard work, discipline and the strength to stand with people”. This is why as the Minister of Indo-Pacific Affairs, she is playing an important role with India on issues like trade, climate and migration.

Seema Malhotra’s father Sushil Kumar Malhotra was first an engineer and financial advisor and later became a shopkeeper in Osterley, London. Her mother Usha Malhotra, who was born in Gohra village, now in Pakistan, was the strong foundation of the family. This family, which reached Britain after going through the pain of partition, made hard work and struggle a part of life. Seema herself took care of her parents during their illness, which she considers to be a deeply emotional experience of her life. She was always serious about education also. He did his schooling in the government schools of Hounslow and later obtained a degree in Politics and Philosophy from the University of Warwick. After this he completed postgraduation in Business and Information Studies from Aston University. Education gave direction to his thoughts and helped him understand the grassroots needs of the society.
The owner has this much net worth
Before entering politics, Seema’s career was completely related to the professional world. She worked as a management consultant at global companies such as Accenture and PwC, where she became an expert in Strategy and Information Systems. Later she also remained an advisor to many Labor Ministers. She founded the Fabian Women’s Network, so that women’s participation in politics could increase. She was also associated with many social organizations – such as Hounslow’s Promise, which works on the education and well-being of children. His salary as an MP is approximately £91,346 and he also receives ministerial allowances.
He owns a property in Brentford which brings in rental income, while his main residence in Chelsea is worth millions. Although many unofficial estimates on the internet place her net worth at £5–10 million, this figure is calculated by including her husband’s wealth. Seema herself donates a small portion of the income from surveys to charity every year. In personal life, Seema is married to Sushil Kumar Saluja, who has been a senior director at Accenture and is now on the board of “The City UK”, a leading organization in the financial services sector.
