Marriage with Nikhil Jain invalid
Nusrat Jahan on Wednesday issued a statement saying her marriage with Nikhil Jain was never valid as an interfaith marriage in India that will require validation beneath the Special Marriage Act, which never happened. As the marriage had not been legal, valid and tenable, there is no question of divorce. She clarified. "Our separation happened long back, but I did not discuss it as I designed to keep my private life to myself," the Basirhat MP said.
Actor-turned-politician Nusrat Jahan got married to businessman Nikhil Jain in Bodrum of Turkey in 2019 after she made her political debut winning the Lok Sabha Elections 2019. Of late, there have been speculations of a rift in the marriage as reports claimed Nusrat was dating fellow actor-politician Yash Dasgupta, who was simply a BJP prospect in the 2021 election in Bengal.
A few days ago reports of Nusrat carrying Yash's child started doing the rounds to which writer Taslima Nasreen commented in an extended Facebook post, where she said if the rumour is true, then Nusrat should get divorced from Nikhil. While Nusrat's statement clarifies her stance on the 'marriage,' without naming Nikhil, she accused him of mishandling her money
