When Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi’s relationship grabbed headlines

In 2022, Lalit Modi took the Internet by storm after he shared a series of love-filled pictures from his vacation with Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen. In a post shared in July last year, he wrote that he and Sushmita were dating. “ Just back in london after a whirling global tour #maldives # sardinia with the families – not to mention my #better looking partner @sushmitasen47 – a new beginning a new life finally. Over the moon. In love does not mean marriage YET. BUT ONE THAT BY GODS GRACE WILL HAPPEN. I JUST ANNOUNCED THAT WE ARE TOGETHER,” he wrote.

Back in July, he proclaimed his love for the former Miss Universe by mentioning her in his bio, which read, “founder @iplt20 (Indian tricolour emoji) INDIAN PREMIERE LEAGUE (cricket emoji) finally starting a new life with my partner in crime. My love @sushmitasen47.”  

Sushmita Sen remained tight-lipped, and neither confirmed nor denied the relationship. However, in an Instagram post back then, she shut down trolls and slammed them for calling her a ‘gold digger’. Sharing a picture of herself posing in the infinity pool, Sushmita had written, “The so called intellectuals with their idiosyncrasies….the ignorant with their cheap & at times funny gossip  The friends I never had & the acquaintances I’ve never met….all sharing their grand opinions & deep knowledge of my life & character…monetising the ‘Gold Digger’ all the way!!!  Ah these geniuses!!! I dig deeper than Gold…and I’ve always (famously) preferred Diamonds!! And yes I still buy them myself!!!”

A few months later, however, rumours of Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi’s breakup surfaced after Modi removed his Instagram profile photo with Sushmita and also changed his bio.
