Early life[edit]
Hard Kaur was born Taran Kaur Dhillon in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where her mother ran a small beauty parlour in the house.[1] When she was young, she lost her father and her mother's beauty parlour was burnt a few days after her father's death.[3][dead link] Her paternal grandparents asked her mother to leave their house and wanted to keep her brother with them.[1] Subsequently she, her brother and her mother moved to Hoshiarpur to her maternal grandparents house, where they stayed for the next couple of years.
In 1991 her mother remarried a British citizen and her family moved to Birmingham, England, where her mother started working and studying to eventually open a beauty salon.
