Personal life

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.[23] 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.[24]

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.[25][26][27]

Jahan later has claimed that the marriage was not legal and "it was nothing more than a live-in relationship".[28][29] Later a Kolkata court ruled that Jahan and Jain's marriage is legally invalid.[3]

Jahan began her relationship with actor Yash Dasgupta but their marital status remains unknown as of December 2021.[3] In August 2021, Jahan gave birth to a boy, at a private hospital in Kolkata.[30] It is reported that the child's birth certificate named Dasgupta as the father.[31]
