A statement by her family said: “Nusrat was admitted to a hospital due to respiratory problems. She has a history of asthma.” “Jahan is in the ICU, but stable. She is conscious,” it further said. A senior official at the hospital, where the TMC MP is currently undergoing treatment, said that Jahan was responding to treatment and her condition has improved.
He, however, declined to comment anything on the cause of her illness. The actor was elected from Basirhat by a huge margin of over three lakh votes in the Lok Sabha polls. She married her long-time beau and city-based enterpreneur Nikhil Jain in June. Jahan had come in the firing line of Muslim clerics after she was seen sporting ‘sindoor’ while taking oath in the Parliament as an MP. The TMC MP had said she represented an inclusive India, which was beyond the barriers of caste, creed and religion.
