Actress turned Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan danced to the tunes of dhak (drums) as she visited a Durga Puja pandal on the auspicious Maha Ashtami day on Saturday. Accompanied by her husband, Nusrat wore a white and red pat saree and a mask and offered Anjali (flowers) at the Suruchi Sangha pandal in New Alipore, PTI reported.

Caught in full festive fervour, she was seen matching steps with other dancers on the pandal, the video of which went viral on social media.

West Bengal Sports Minister Aroop Biswas accompanied Nusrat as they both were seen performing ‘arati’.

Amid the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, the much-awaited Durga Puja this year has been a low-key affair minus the grand festivities.

The Calcutta High Court has ruled Durga Puja pandals across West Bengal as “no entry zones” this year, owing to the pandemic.
