In a recent interview, former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi made sensational claims about his relationship with actress Sushmita Sen. Modi stated that Sen paid for everything during their time together, referring to himself as a 'kept boyfriend.' He praised Sen for her independence and financial generosity, adding that she never let him pay for anything.
Modi's candid remarks
Speaking to a news outlet, Modi said, 'Sushmita paid for everything. I was a kept boyfriend. She is an incredibly independent woman who knows what she wants.' He further elaborated that Sen's financial independence was one of the qualities he admired most in her. The couple reportedly dated for several months before parting ways.
Reactions from fans and media
The revelation has sparked a wave of reactions on social media. While some fans praised Sen for her generosity, others criticized Modi for making such personal details public. Media outlets have been quick to pick up the story, with many debating the dynamics of their relationship.
Neither Sen nor her representatives have responded to Modi's claims yet. The actress, known for her roles in Bollywood and as a former Miss Universe, has always maintained a private stance on her personal life.
Background of the relationship
Lalit Modi and Sushmita Sen were first linked romantically in early 2025. They were often seen together at social events and vacation spots. However, in late 2025, rumors of a split began circulating. Modi's recent interview appears to confirm the end of their relationship, though he spoke highly of Sen throughout the conversation.
Modi also mentioned that the relationship taught him valuable lessons about independence and mutual respect. 'She showed me what it means to be truly self-sufficient,' he added.
