Since her marriage to Nikhil Jain, Trinamool Congress MP and actor Nusrat Jahan has always been in the middle of a controversy. During her oath-taking ceremony in Parliament, Nusrat was targeted by Muslim clerics last year for wearing a saree and wearing a sindoor and mangalsutra. Then again, Nusrat came under the scanner of the Muslim cleric, Mufti Asad Kasmi, who asked Nusrat to change her name rather than defame Islam.

Mufti Kazmi, Itehaad Ulema-e-vice-president Hind's and a cleric affiliated with Darul Uloom Deoband, said that she should change her name because Nusrat does not believe in Islam. This happened after Nusrat Jahan, along with her husband, Nikhil Jain, attended Durga Puja on Maha Ashtami.

In the recent past, she faced a backlash when she posed as Maa Durga for a Mahalaya photoshoot. She also sent death threats to a few users over her latest post, where Nusrat posed as a Goddess. The critical backlash was because Nusrat, who married a Hindu man, was born a Muslim.

Several users asked Nusrat to change her surname to a Hindu one. For the uninformed, Jahan had on the occasion of Mahalaya, posted the image of her dressed as Goddess Durga. She also shared videos from the photoshoot a few days later.

Nusrat Jahan said love and jihad don't go hand-in-hand on Monday (November 23) and people come up with topics like this just before the polls.
