MUMBAI: After much speculation, Nusrat Jahan revealed in a long statement that her marriage to Nikhil Jain is 'invalid' in India as the two got married in Turkey, as per Turkish law. 

Now, Nikhil Jain revealed that he has filed for an annulment in Kolkata. He refused to comment further in the matter as the case is subjudiced in court.

In an audio interview, Nikhil Jain revealed that he has filed for an annulment in Kolkata. While he refused to comment further on the matter as the case is in court, he admitted that the two have been separated since November 2020.

"These are legalities, I don't really want to comment on anything she's said because the matter is sub judice in court. I have filed a civil suit in Kolkata and I will not comment on it till it is in court.", Nikhil said.

Nikhil later clarified that he has filed for an annulment in Kolkata and that they have been separated since November 2020. "I have filed for an annulment in Kolkata, we have been separated since November last year.", Nikhil concluded.

TMC MP Nusrat Jahan released a statement today revealing that her marriage with Nikhil was according to Turkish Law and is not valid in India. The two had not registered their marriage here in India and they had been separated since November 2020.

In a long statement, Nusrat revealed that her belongings, family jewellery and other assets have been 'illegally held back'. She also alleged that her 'funds were mishandled' without her knowledge.

Read Nusrat's full statement below:

"1. Being on foreign land, as per Turkish Marriage Regulation, the ceremony is invalid. Moreover, since it was an interfaith marriage, it requires validation under the 'Special Marriage Act' in India, which did not happen. As per the court of law, it is not a marriage, but a relationship or a live-in relationship. Thus, the question of divorce does not arise. Our separation happened long back, but I did not speak about it as I intended to keep my private life to myself. Thus, my actions must not be questioned based on “separation”, by the media or anybody I am not related to. The alleged marriage is not legal, valid and tenable and thus, was not a marriage at all in the eye of law.".

"2. My visit to any place for business or for the purpose of leisure, should not concern anyone with whom I have separated. All my expenses have always been borne by me contrary to claims by 'someone'.".

"3. I would also state that I have solely borne the expenses for my sister's education and my family’s well-being, from day one, as they have been my responsibility. I need not use or keep anyone's Credit Card, which I am not related to anymore. This too can be backed up by evidence.".

"4. The one who claims to be 'rich' and 'been used by me' has been taking money from my account by accessing my bank accounts illegally and by illegitimate means at odd-hours of the night, even post-separation. I have already taken this up with the concerned Banking Authority and a Police Complaint shall be filed shortly.".
In the past, details of all family Accounts were handed over to him, upon his requests and none of me or my family members were aware of any Instructions given to the bank via our accounts. He has also been mishandling my funds from various accounts without my knowledge and consent. I am still battling it out with the Bank & if need be, would release proof of the same.".

"5. Also, my belongings, including my clothes, bags and accessories still remain with them. I am disheartened and disappointed to state that all my family jewellery, given to me by my parents, friends and extended family, including my own hard-earned assets has been illegally held back by them.".

"6. Being 'rich' does not always give a man the right to act as a victim & belittle the woman alone, in this society. I have made my own identity by my sheer hard work; thus I would not allow anyone not related to me to share the limelight or a title or followers, based on my identity.".

"7. I would never speak up about my personal life or anyone I am not related to. Thus, people who call themselves 'normal people' must not entertain anything which is not related to them. I would request the media to refrain from questioning the wrong person, who has not been a part of my life for long now. Turning a “Sadaharon” person, as claimed by someone, into a 'Hero', giving one-sided stories to malign my image is not desirable. I would earnestly request my friends from the media to not give unnecessary mileage to such people or situations. Thank you, Nusrat Jahan.", she concluded.

While reports of trouble in Nusrat and Nikhil's marriage were around, it was also reported that Nusrat was getting close to fellow actor Yash Dasgupta. They were also on a trip to Rajasthan recently.

Nusrat Jahan and Nikhil Jain tied the knot on June 19, 2019, after dating for some time. While the two got married in an intimate ceremony in Turkey, they later hosted a wedding reception in Kolkata, which was attended by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the who’s who of Tollywood.
