A video of her having a blast with her closest friends went viral and the opposition demanded her resignation because how can a woman have fun when she’s the PM of a country?

It’s her clothes that got people talking despite her professional accomplishments. In 2019, she joined TMC and won the Basirhat constituency by a margin of 3,50,369 votes. In 2021, Nusrat was honoured with “The Youth Icon” award at the 16th Tumi Ananya Awards soon after that she was awarded Mahanayika by the chief minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee. One could truly call Nusrat a Girl Boss!
