Lalit Modi is not a new name for those who have been following cricket or the country's politics for the last 10 years. The new generation may remember this person as the boyfriend of Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen. Today, Lalit Modi may be known as a fugitive who has left India and settled abroad for fear of arrest. But there was a time when Lalit Modi's name used to be very popular in Indian cricket. The world's most expensive cricket league i.e. IPL was also the brainchild of him. Now he is once again in the headlines.

Grandfather established the whole city.
Lalit Modi belongs to the country's big business family. Very few people know that his grandfather established an entire city in North India. Modinagar, located near Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, needs no introduction today. This city was established by Lalit Modi's grandfather Rai Bahadur Seth Gujarmal Modi. Lalit Modi's grandfather, who started the business with just Rs 400, built his empire with the business of vegetable oil and ghee. In 1933, he bought 100 bighas of land in Begumabad, Ghaziabad, about 50 km from Delhi, and started a sugar mill with machines brought from England. Today, this area is known as Modinagar.

Spoilt rich boy

Lalit Modi and controversies have always been inseparable. Lalit was born on 29 November 1963 in the house of Krishna Kumar Modi. After studying in boarding schools in Shimla and Nainital, he was admission to Durham, US for higher education. But he never felt like studying. In 1985, he was arrested on charges of selling drugs at the university. Later, he was also accused of making a murderous attack and kidnapping another student. The court cases started from here.

Married mother's friend

After running away from America and returning to India, Lalit Modi helped his father in his business. But he was already bitten by the bug of the sports and entertainment world. Around 1991, he took the most controversial decision of his life. He married Minal, a friend of his mother Bina Modi, whom he met while studying in America. There was a lot of uproar at the time of their marriage. Both had to live separately from the family for a long time. Lalit Modi's first wife Minal was a friend of his mother Bina Modi. Lalit's family initially opposed this relationship, but the couple remained adamant, and eventually the family had to bow down. Before marrying Lalit, Minal was married to Jack Sagarani, a Nigerian businessman, with whom she also had a daughter.

Affair with Sushmita!

In 2010, the BCCI suspended Lalit Modi from the post of IPL governor on charges of money laundering and financial irregularities. Found guilty in 2013 and banned for life, he has been on India's wanted list since June 2015 and is living in London. In July 2022, he created a stir by sharing intimate photos with Sushmita Sen, one of the top actresses of Bollywood. Later, while tweeting, he wrote, 'For clarity, let me tell you that we both are dating each other. We are not married yet. Yes, but we can do so soon.'

Now described the mystery woman as his lover.

Now on the occasion of Valentine's Day, Lalit Modi has shared photos with a new woman. Lalit Modi wrote, 'Lucky ones - yes. When 25 years of friendship turns into love. It happened twice. #HappyValentinesDay to all of you.' However, who is this woman? What is her name? Where does she live? What does she do? No one knows this! Since the death of his wife Minal in 2018, his name has been linked to many women.

Who is this mystery woman? The name of the woman with whom Lalit Modi has shared his photos and videos is Reema Bauri. She is a woman from Lebanon with a marketing background.
