Kolkata: 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.
