Lalit Modi and Sushmita Sen’s romance is becoming a hot topic in the whole country nowadays as no one imagined that it could be a reality. Everyone was surprised even Lait and Sushmita’s own families.
After former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi revealed that he is dating a Bollywood actress and plans to be married to her shortly, the ex-Miss Universe admirers were pleasantly shocked since Sushmita occasionally told the media many times that marriage is not her priority.

Like her fans, their family members reacted the same. After Sushmita’s brother Rajeev Sen spoke out about their connection, the actress’s father, former Indian Air Force officer Shubeer Sen, has also done the same.

He said that, like others, he was utterly clueless about this development and did not know anything related to this before the announcement was made public. Talking with some of the journalists about this news, he said,
“I do not have any knowledge or information about this development. I had a telephonic conversation with my daughter on Friday morning only. But she did not tell me anything on this count. I was informed after the tweet from Lalit Modi only by media persons. Since I have absolutely no information on this development, I am unable to offer any comment.”
Additionally, he said that no mention of Lalit Modi was made at all in the duration of his chat with his daughter on Friday morning. He added,
“If this happens, it will be an important turn in my daughter’s life. I will surely come to know of that in future. But as of now, I have no knowledge on this count.”
When asked if he was aware of any developing relationship between his daughter and Lalit Modi, Sen responded that she had visited the family over 18 months earlier for a family event but had not told anybody about it.

When asked directly if he would accept Lalit Modi as a son-in-law, he responded that he wouldn’t know whether Lalit Modi existed in the situation at all until then. He added,
“Had I been aware I would have informed the media everything since there is nothing to hide in the matter.”
Talking about rumours, on Friday, Sushmita Sen clarified on Instagram that she was not married to Lalit Modi and that they were not even engaged. She posted a photo of herself with her children Renee and Alisah and captioned,

Despite the fact that Sushmita’s father Shubeer Sen and brother Rajeev Sen were unaware of the connection, Lalit Modi’s son Ruchir has claimed that his family was aware of it, as reported by the Indian Express.
Lalit’s first marriage was with Minal Sagrani, whom he married in October 1991. Together, they gave birth to a boy named Ruchir and a daughter named Aliya. Karima Sagrani, a child of Minal’s first marriage, has him as a stepfather as well. Minal sadly passed away from cancer in 2018.
While Sushmita is the mother of Renee and Alisah, two adoptive girls. The 46-year-old actor will next be seen in the third season of the forthcoming crime thriller Aarya on Disney+ Hotstar.
