<p>Popular Tollywood heroine and Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan on Wednesday claimed her marriage with businessman Nikhil Jain was not a legal marriage but a live-in relationship as their wedding in Turkey did not have recognition in Indian law.</p>.<p>Jahan, who is reportedly dating actor-assembly poll candidate Yash Dasgupta in recent times, said in a statement that since her marriage ceremony with Jain had taken place in accordance with Turkish Marriage Regulation, the marriage is invalid here.</p>.<p>Commenting on Jahan's statement, Jain told reporters: "I don't want to say anything. Everything will be decided by the court. The matter is in court."</p>.<p>Jahan, in her statement also claimed, "Since it was an interfaith marriage, it requires validation under Special Marriage Act in India, which did not happen. As per law, it is not a marriage, but a relationship or a live-in relationship."</p>.<p>Referring to Jain's recent statement to the media that he sought divorce from Jahan, the MP from Basirhat constituency said, "The question of divorce does not arise due to above-mentioned reasons."</p>.<p>"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," she alleged.</p>.<p>Jahan had tied the knot with Jain at a destination wedding ceremony in Turkey in 2019, attended by a select few.</p>.<p>After winning the Lok Sabha Elections in 2019 on a TMC ticket, Jahan hosted a grand wedding reception at a five-star hotel in Kolkata which was attended by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee among other dignitaries.</p>.<p>Nusrat issued the statement amid speculations of a rift in her marriage and reports that she is living separately and is pregnant.</p>.<p>"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'," she further said in the statement.</p>.<p>She added that she would never speak up about her personal life or anyone she is not related to.</p>.<p>"Thus, people who call themselves 'normal people' must not entertain anything which is not related to them.</p>.<p>"I would request the media to refrain from questioning the wrong person, who has not been a part of my life since long now.... I would earnestly request my friends from the media to not give unnecessary mileage to such people or situations," the statement read. </p>
