Lalit Modi clarifies late wife Minal Modi 'was not my mother's friend'; shuts troll on tagging Sushmita's parody account

Lalit Modi set the internet ablaze when he posted pictures of himself with former Miss Universe and actress Sushmita Sen . While making his relationship official, he tagged Sushmita’s parody account, for which he was badly trolled. Amid this, a rumour of his late wife Minal Modi being his mother’s friend also became the talking point. The former IPL chairman on Sunday took to his social media handle to rebuff all such reports.

Taking to Instagram, Lalit penned a long note expressing his displeasure over ongoing trolls on his relationship with Sushmita. He also gave clarifications on wrongly tagging the actress’s account on the pictures on Insta. “Why is the media so obsessed abt trolling me apparently 4 wrongly tagging. Can someone explain - I only did 2 pics on insta- & Tag is correct.I GUESS We R still living in the Middle Ages that 2 people can’t be friends & then if chemistry is right & timing is good✔️- Magic can happen. I guess because they R no liable suits in our country every Journo is trying there best to be #arnabgoswami - THE BIGGEST CLOWN. My advise live and Let others live. Write THE RIGHT NEWS - not like #donaldtrump style #Fakenews, he wrote.
