Lalit Modi left netizens suprised after he announced his relationship with actress Sushmita Sen in July 2022. He made the revelation, while sharing a series of pictures on his social media accounts, and also called Sushmita his ‘better half’. He also mentioned Sushmita in his bio and changed his Instagram profile photo. On the other hand, Sushmita never confirmed or denied the relationship and so far, has maintained a dignified silence.
A few months after announcing the relationship, Lalit removed his Instagram profile photo with Sushmita and had also changed his bio, leading to breakup rumours.
Few days back, he shared his photo from an airport and stated that he was beinf airlifted from Mexico to London, and added that he still needs time to recover.
“With my two saviours. The two doctors seriously for three weeks monitored me, treated me 24/7. One Mexico City-based, whose care I was under and the second my London doctor, who specifically flew in to Mexico City to accompany me back to London. I have no words to describe how they sacrificed their time etc. to get me out. Still need time to recover. Currently on 24/7 external oxygen. I was, I thought, touch and go. But my children and friends and my close friend @harish_salve_ who were all with me for two out of my three weeks, fully by my side. They are all my family and part of me. God bless. Jai hind…,” he wrote.
