Lalit Modi took netizens by surprise 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 wife’. He also mentioned Sushmita in his bio and changed his Instagram profile photo. Sushmita, on the other hand, never confirmed or denied the relationship and has maintained a dignified silence till now.
A few months after announcing the relationship, Lalit removed his Instagram profile photo with Sushmita and also changed his introduction, leading to breakup rumours.
A few days ago, he shared his picture from an airport and said that he was airlifted from Mexico to London, adding that he still needs time to recover.
“With my two guards. Two doctors monitored me closely for three weeks, treating me 24/7. One Mexico City-based, who I was taking care of, and my London doctor, who specially Came to mexico city to support. 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 24/7 on external oxygen. I was, I thought, touch and go. But my children and friends and my close friend Harish Salve, who was with me for two out of three weeks, were with me completely. They are all my family And are my share. God bless. Jai Hind…,” he wrote.
