June Maliah has effectively combined a prominent three-decade career in Bengali cinema and television with dedicated, grassroots legislative work in the Paschim Medinipur district. Born on 24 June 1970 in Kolkata, she grew up in an intellectually active environment and established herself as one of the most versatile and household-recognized actresses in eastern India. Alongside her artistic career, she spent years supporting child welfare and women’s safety panels, leading to her entry into formal politics in 2021 under Mamata Banerjee’s front line. Winning the Midnapore Assembly seat, she gained widespread recognition for her field availability during public crises and systematic handling of municipal water grids. Promoted to contest the Medinipur Lok Sabha seat in 2024, she ran an extensive campaign to win the constituency. In parliament, her efforts focus on upgrading medical college infrastructure, establishing rural artisan export hubs, and expanding child health tracking systems.
