Kolkata, June 20 (IANS) Bengali actress and newly-elected MP Nusrat Jahan looked every bit the traditional bride in a red designer lehenga as she tied the knot with her businessman beau Nikhil Jain in the picturesque Turkish town of Bodrum.
The wedding took place late on Wednesday at the Six Place Kapalankya, a luxury resort located in Milas, 84 km from Bodrum.
Sharing a photograph from her wedding in which the couple is seen walking hand-in-hand with the scenic Aegean Sea in the backdrop, Nusrat wrote on Instagram: "Towards a happily ever after with Nikhil Jain."

A short video of the wedding was shared on the Instagram page of Aphotography experts Knotting Bells, which was covering the celebrations.
Bengali actress and Jadavpur MP Mimi Chakraborty, who is one of Nusrat's friends from the industry, was also a part of the gala wedding. She wore a bright pink lehenga and was seen blowing a kiss to the bride as she walked the aisle.
Both the actresses who recently became MPs couldn't take their oath in Lok Sabha because of Jahan's wedding.
Nusrat looked resplendent in the red Sabyasachi Mukherjee lehenga, and the groom chose an ivory ensemble by the same designer for the D-day.
