As soon as the tweet was out, Twitter users asked if the two were married. However, Lalit Modi clarified that they are not. 

“Just for clarity. Not married – just dating each other. That too it will happen one day,” he said.

Lalit Modi left India after he was investigated for tax evasion and money-laundering. He is in London since 2010. Sushmita Sen on the other hand, was crowned Miss Universe in 1994. She has starred in several Bollywood hits like ‘Biwi No 1’, ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’, ‘Main Hoon Na’ and ‘No Problem’. The 46-year-old has two daughters – Alisah and Renee and was last seen in Voot’s web series Aarya 2.
