Over the years, we have seen the entertainment industry to work with the political parties. And there has been some latest additions to both Trinamool and BJP parties. Including Yash Dasgupta, Papiya Adhikary, Soumili Ghosh in BJP, whereas Dipankar Dey, Bharat Kaul in Trinamool. (Picture Credit: Instagram)

Since joining, Yash is facing many questions because of his friendship and hush-hush relationship with Nusrat Jahan, Bengali actress and Trinamool Congress MP.

Yash and Nusrat have worked together in a couple of films, and soon after their latest film, SOS, there's a rumour of them dating. Two years back, Nusrat married a businessman Nikhil Jain, but at the beginning of this year, as per the media reports, it can be deduced that they have been separated. This only gave more reason to believe in Yash and Nusrat's relationship.

Talking about Nusrat being a TMC member to IndiaToday, Yash said, "Why can't that be? At home do family members not have different opinions, political or otherwise?" 

He was also compared to Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. To that, the actor-turned-politician said, "Oh no, Akshay and Twinkle are married. Nusrat and I are not. But you get the drift." He further added about his faith on PM's vision, "I believe in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The vision he has for India has inspired me to join politics so that I can actively work towards bringing social change in Bengal."
