Bengali actress and Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan reportedly gave birth to a baby boy, on Thursday (Aug 26) at a private hospital in Kolkata. As per a medical bulletin issued by the hospital where Nusrat is admitted, both the child and the mother are doing well.

Sources said that she was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night and gave birth to the child via C-Section surgery at around 12.45 PM on Thursday. Meanwhile, Nushrat's rumoured boyfriend, Yash Dasgupta said that both of them are well.

On Thursday morning, taking to Instagram, Nusrat shared a photograph of herself with the caption: "Faith Over Fear #positivity #morningvibes." Though Nusrat did not officially confirm her pregnancy, she had shared pictures with her baby bump in June and even photos of a pregnancy-themed cake, sent to her by her friends.

Earlier this year, the actress had courted controversy after she claimed that her marriage with businessman Nikhil Jain was not valid under Indian laws, since the ceremony was held in Turkey. Nikhil, on his part, had claimed that Nusrat had avoided his requests to register the marriage.
