Nusrat was admitted to Neotia Hospital in Kolkata on August 25. Bengali actor Yash Dasgupta, who is reportedly dating her, drove Nusrat to the hospital.

Nusrat’s due date was said to be around the end of August or early September.

Nusrat had earlier argued that since her marriage ceremony with businessman Nikhil Jain in 2019 had taken place in accordance with Turkish Marriage Regulation and hence the marriage is invalid in India.

In June, Nusrat shared a seven-point statement where she alleged that her belongings, such as family jewellery and several other assets, have been “illegally held back”. She also alleged that her funds from various accounts were “mishandled” without her knowledge.

In a conversation with India Today.in, Nikhil Jain confirmed the news of his separation from Nusrat. “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,” he said.
