IPL founder Lalit Modi is dating Sushmita Sen, the former Miss Universe, who stole the show in a number of Bollywood movies such as 'Main Hoon Na'. The news has become viral.

At first, when Modi posted a few pictures of himself with Sen and described her as his 'better half', everyone assumed that they are a married couple. He later clarified that they are merely dating each other. "Just for clarity. Not married - just dating each other. That too it will happen one day," Modi tweeted.

Netizens are flooding the couple with hot takes, funny posts, and greetings. Times Of India remembered, "The two seem to know each other for some years. Back in 2011, Sushmita had profusely thanked Lalit Modi on Twitter for getting her account verified."

With many calling Sen names, Chaiti Narula tweeted, "Can people pls let her be? When a man dates a woman richer than him, we don’t jump to label him a 'gold digger', do we? It’s really sickening to see these posts berating a woman. It’s her personal life …for God’s sake."
