After joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in June 2019,[7][8] speculation rose about Ghosh's nationality. Later, the BJP claimed that she is a citizen of India and has an Indian passport.[9] West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh released her birth certificate, issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in 2003.[10][11] According to the certificate, she was born as Anju Ghosh to Sudhanya Ghosh and Binapani Ghosh on 17 September 1966 in East End Nursing Home, Kolkata.[12]
