Lalit Modi posted several photos on the social media platform, Instagram, where he was seen enjoying on a vacation with Sushmita. He captioned the photos ““Just back in london after a whirling global tour #maldives # sardinia with the families – not to mention my #better looking partner @sushmitasen47 – a new beginning a new life finally. Over the moon.”’
In another subsequent social media post, he clarified that they are not married yet and that they are just dating each other right now.

Lalit’s old tweet… Long lost love found or plain co-incidence?
Just the day after Lalit Modi announced he’s dating Sushmita Sen, and old tweet of his has surfaced online, and gone viral… for good reason you would think!
The tweet, in which Lalit and Sushmita talk about promises and commitments has been widely circulated by netizens, who claim the love story years back.
Here is the complete exchange:
Lalit Modi wrote, “Okay I commit “@thesushmitasen: @LalitKModi you are too kind. However, promises are meant to be broken, commitments are honoured. Cheers love. Here is to 47.”
Sushmita replied, “Gotcha 47,” to which Lalit said, “Reply my SMS.”
