Who are Neelam Gill’s parents?

Neelam Gill’s parents are Rajan Gill and Harpeet Gill. She grew up in Coventry and faced a lot of bullying because of the color of her skin. In an interview with Designer, Neelam recalls: “I remember being a kid walking to school and someone shouting ‘Paki’ out the window. That’s normal.”

Neelam added: “I get comments like ‘Does your dad own the corner store?’ or ‘Is he a taxi driver?’ It makes me feel really angry. I could never imagine doing that to someone. That’s not something I support now and I’m very outspoken about it now. When I was younger, I was very insecure and didn’t think I was beautiful because I thought fairness was what made you beautiful. I always hated my skin color.”

After being discovered at the age of 14, Neelam made her debut in Fashion Week favorite Burberry and she credits them with turning her into a household name.

Neelam was recruited at the age of 14. However, her parents said: “Okay, just stay in school and study before going to university.”

Rajan shared about marrying Neelam’s father.

“Honestly, we’re both polite to each other. He works most of the time. I mostly just try to give the girls the best things in life, I used to have to support the girls financially myself. I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment above a shop and I also worked 7 days a week,” Rajan shares about his previous marriage.

She added: “I got an office job then I would work in their supermarket. I bought myself a house after 10 years. To society, it is just a marriage. When I got my own house, I started sleeping with girls. Towards the end of the marriage, things became toxic because we used to argue and fight a lot so I knew I had to leave because I could no longer paint a happy picture.”

Rajan remarried on 15 August 2009 at the age of 39 to Harpreet Gill, Neelam’s stepfather. Her parents wanted her to have a private wedding in India, but her current in-laws insisted on having a grand wedding. She added, “I am more than a grown-up bride; I am a divorced single mother married to someone 10 years younger. I feel ashamed and embarrassed because culturally, that’s not the norm.”

Rajan was born in 1970, this year she is 52 years old. She is working as a makeup artist and a real estate developer. She attended Sidney Stringer Academy.
