Replying to her husband, Naveen Jindal , Shallu Jindal re-tweeted @shallujindal20 by saying “Awww Smiling face with 3 hearts thank you sweetheart . Grateful n blessed to have you as my better half . Love you too Red heart,”.
A crusader for the Indian national flag, an advocate of women and child rights, a philanthropist, a parliamentarian, a politician, a successful industrialist, and a sportsman par excellence…that’s Naveen Jindal for you.A man of myriad talents, Naveen stands out for his sense of commitment, responsibility, dedication, honesty, integrity and sheer passion in all his undertakings.Born in Hisar, Haryana, on 9 March 1970, Naveen is the youngest child of the industrialist-philanthropist-politician Om Prakash Jindal and his wife Savitri. He studied at the Delhi Public School (Mathura Road), New Delhi, before graduating in Commerce from Hans Raj College, Delhi University, in 1990. He subsequently completed an MBA degree from the University of Texas at Dallas, in 1992. His penchant for leadership became evident during his student days. He was the President of the Student Government and recipient of the ‘Student Leader of the Year Award’ at the university.
On his return to India, Naveen began managing his father’s political affairs. In 2004 he stood for elections from Kurukshetra on a Congress party ticket and won, beating his nearest rival Abhay Singh Chautala by 1.6 lakh votes. He repeated the feat in 2009.While Naveen is a two-time Member of Parliament from the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha constituency in Haryana, he is also the Chairman and Managing Director of Jindal Steel and Power Limited, which is a part of the $15 billion diversified O.P. Jindal Group. Naveen’s hard work and business acumen demands applause, for he has transformed the once moderately performing enterprise to the organisation that today operates as the world’s largest coal-based sponge iron manufacturing plant in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, in addition to plants in Jharkhand and Odisha.
JSPL Foundation Chairperson, Shallu Jindal is a New Delhi based multitalented, charismatic and accomplished personality of subtle substance and sophisticated style. She believes and excels in meaningful and wide ranging, ‘direct to the deserving’ social, charitable and welfare activity and is a philanthropist in her own right. This doe-eyed and slender beauty appreciates art, promotes culture and has worked relentlessly towards becoming arguably, one of the leading exponents of the great Indian classical dance of Kuchipudi.
Mother of two lovely and extremely talented children, Shallu juggles her time artfully to vigorously pursue her wide ranging interests, desires and hobbies while diligently bringing up her children and carefully administering her plush home with elan. Besides Indian classical dance, her interests encompass art & culture, interior design and decoration and social activism. Additionally, promoting the legacy of the National Flag amongst the masses, especially youth, as an abiding symbol of the country’s sovereignty, spirit and strength, (in tandem with her husband) is another of her pulsating interests.
