Lalit Modi, businessman and former chairman of Indian Premier League (IPL), took netizens by surprise as he announced a ‘new beginning’ with actress and former ‘Miss Universe’ Sushmita Sen.

In the tweets posted by Lalit, the two were seen together spending time in Sardinia, Italy.

On Thursday night (July 14), he took to Twitter and wrote: “Just back in London after a whirling global tour in Sardinia with the families – not to mention my better-looking partner Sushmita Sen – a new beginning, a new life finally. Over the moon. In love does not mean marriage. But one day that for sure.”

The post invited a lot of responses from fans, storming both the social media platforms – Instagram and Twitter. Many fans were under the impression that the couple had secretly tied the knot.

Later, Lalit clarified, “Just for clarity. Not married – just dating each other. That too will happen one day.”

The businessman couldn’t contain his excitement as he promptly changed his profile picture on Instagram and edited his bio, saying: “Finally starting a new life with my partner in crime. My love Sushmita Sen.” Lalit also posted a media report breaking the news of their union.

However, the actress chose to remain silent on the topic and instead posted a picture where she could be seen basking in Sardinia’s sun. This actress also posted a contemplative quote saying that when people think they are buried in a dark place, they could have been planted.

The picture carousel shared by the businessman showed that the two had known each other for a long time. As per reports, there were rumours that the couple was dating back in 2009.

One old exchange between Lalit and Sushmita went viral when the former had asked her to reply to his SMS. The message received hilarious responses. One of them replied, “she finally responded after 9 years.”

The actress recently appeared in a talk show hosted by Twinkle Khanna where she expressed her thoughts on marriage. She shared how thrice she came close to marriage but “men were a let down”. She said that her children were never a hindrance to marriage but they rather saved her from making mistakes.

Sushmita is the mother of two adopted daughters – Renee and Alisah.

Lalit’s wife Minal, who was diagnosed with cancer, passed away in 2018.
