Nikhil Jain on Wednesday reacted to Nusrat Jahan's statement about their marriage and separation, saying he has filed for an annulment in Kolkata, West Bengal.
Jahan, Trinamool Congress MP, in an explosive statement made earlier in the day claimed her 2019 marriage to Jain was not valid in India since they had tied the knot as per Turkish Marriage Regulation. The validation of their marriage in India under the Special Marriage Act, she says, did not happen. More of what her statement said.
"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," Jain told India Today.
"I have filed for an annulment in Kolkata, we have been separated since November last year," he adds.
