After a year's hiatus, she starred in her second film, Khoka 420 (2013), with Dev.[13] The same year she appeared in Khiladi, opposite Ankush Hazra.[14] She appeared in two item songs, "Chicken Tandoori" from Action and "Desi Chhori" from Yoddha - The Warrior, both of which were hits and became chartbusters. Jahan then appeared in Sondhey Namaar Aagey, with Rahul Bose, Rituparna Sengupta and Payel Sarkar.

In 2015, she featured in the comedy film, Jamai 420, opposite Ankush Hazra, with an ensemble cast including Payel Sarkar, Mimi Chakraborty, Soham Chakraborty and Hiran Chatterjee. Jahan was also a part of the theme song of BCL (Bengal Celebrity League) for the team "Midnapoor Mighities", with Dev and Sayantika Banerjee. Her next and last film of 2015 was Har Har Byomkesh, with Abir Chatterjee, Sohini Sarkar and Rachel White released in December 2015. The movie was a huge box office success.

In 2016, she appeared in director Rajiv Kumar Biswas' film Power, with Jeet and Sayantika Banerjee. That same year, she starred in the comedy film Kelor Kirti, with Dev, Jisshu Sengupta, Ankush Hazra, Mimi Chakraborty, Koushani Mukherjee and Sayantika Banerjee.

Political career

[edit]

On 12 March 2019, the Chief Minister of West Bengal and president of Trinamool Congress party, Mamata Banerjee announced that Jahan would contest the upcoming general election of 2019 from Basirhat Lok Sabha Constituency.[18][19] She emerged as the winner by a margin of 350,000 votes against BJP candidate Sayantan Basu.[20]

Personal life

[edit]

Jahan was in a relationship with Kader Khan for about "three or four" years. In 2012, he was implicated in the gang rape of Suzette Jordan. Jahan maintained that they broke up 5 months before the incident and that they remained good friends afterwards.[21] A concerned group of lawyers accused Jahan of giving shelter to Kader Khan who is absconding from the law and demanded that she be arrested. Later she said that if he had committed the crime, he must be punished by the court of law.[22]

Jahan and businessman Nikhil Jain had an elaborate marriage ceremony on 19 June 2019 in Turkey, followed by a reception attended by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her actress friend and co-Member of Parliament Mimi Chakraborty, among other celebrities.[23][24][25]

Jahan later has claimed that the marriage was not legal and "it was nothing more than a live-in relationship".[26][27] Later a Kolkata court ruled that Jahan and Jain's marriage is legally invalid.[28]

Jahan began her relationship with actor Yash Dasgupta but their marital status remains unknown as of December 2021.[28] In August 2021, Jahan gave birth to a boy named Yishaan J, Dasgupta, at a private hospital in Kolkata.[29][30][31] It is reported that the child's birth certificate named Dasgupta as the father.[32] In February 2022, Jahan confirmed their marriage since 2020.[33][34]
