On 12 March 2019, the Chief Minister of West Bengal and president of Trinamool Congress party, Mamata Banerjee announced that Jahan would contest the upcoming general election of 2019 from Basirhat Lok Sabha Constituency.[7][8] She emerged as the winner by a margin of 350,000 votes against BJP candidate Sayantan Basu.[9]

Personal lifeEdit

Jahan was in a relationship with businessman Nikhil Jain from 2018. They had an elaborate marriage ceremony on 19 June 2019 in Turkey, followed by a reception attended by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her actress friend and co-Member of Parliament Mimi Chakraborty, among other celebrities.[10][11][12]

Jahan later has claimed that the marriage was not legal, "Being on foreign land, as per Turkish Marriage Regulation, the ceremony is invalid. Moreover, since it was an interfaith marriage, it requires validation under Special Marriage Act in India, which did not happen". As per Nusrat, "it was nothing more than a live-in relationship".[13] Jain has stated that they lived together as husband and wife and introduced themselves as a married couple in the society. He has claimed that "I devoted all my time and resources being a faithful and responsible husband."[14] A Kolkata court ruled that Jahan and Jain's marriage is legally invalid.[15]

Jahan began her relationship with actor Yash Dasgupta but their marital status remains unknown as of December 2021.[15] In August 2021, Jahan gave birth to a boy, at a private hospital in Kolkata.[16] It is reported that the child's birth certificate named Dasgupta as the father.[17]
