Sushmita Sen, in an Instagram post on Friday, said that she was not married and unconditionally surrounded by love. This came a day after former Indian Premier League chairperson Lalit Modi made their relationship social media official by sharing several photos from their recent Maldives trip. 

“I’m in a happy place! Not married… no rings… and unconditionally surrounded by love. Enough clarification given… Now back to life and work! Thank you for sharing in my happiness always … And for those who don’t… it’s #NOYB anyway. I love you guys!” the 46-year-old wrote on Instagram, along with a photograph with her daughters — Renee and Alisah.

On Thursday night, Lalit Modi, tweeted, “Just back in London after a whirling global tour #maldives #sardinia with the families – not to mention my #betterhalf @sushmitasen47 – a new beginning a new life finally. Over the moon (sic).”

The use of “better half” in the tweet gave rise to speculations about the duo’s marriage.

In a follow-up post, the 56-year-old businessman clarified that they are just “dating”.

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

In an interaction with the ETimes, Sushmita’s brother, Rajeev Sen, said he didn’t know anything about his sister’s relationship.

“I am pleasantly surprised. I will speak to my sister before I say anything. I wasn’t aware of it at all. My sister is yet to confirm this from her end, so, I can’t comment as of now,” he said. 

Lalit Modi’s son Ruchir Modi also refused to comment.

“I prefer to refrain from commenting on personal family affairs but would always be happy to comment in relation to business or other matters. I prefer not to comment at all, to be very honest, as we don’t comment on personal matters as a family policy,” he told ETimes.
