There was a flurry of jokes, memes and trolls on social media soon after Lalit Modi expressed his love for Sushmita Sen and thus announced that the two were dating. It has been days since that happened but the trolling has only intensified. After Sushmita Sen thanked her well-wishers and told those mocking their relationship that it is none of their business, Modi also reacted to the hate online. He says 'live and let others live,' and also advised people to 'enjoy when someone prospers.'

He also talked about his wife Minal Modi who had died of cancer in 2018. For the unversed, rumours are rife that Minal Modi was friends with Lalit Modi's mother, and hence, the family was initially not ready for marriage due to the age gap.

"Lalit said he would create a scandal if the marriage was not agreed to. The Modis were left with no choice," a family friend told Bangalore Mirror.

"And if u don¡¯t know let me Enlighten u All- departed love of my life #minalmodi was MY BEST FRIEND for 12 years whilst she was married. She was not my mothers friend. That gossip was spread by vested interests. It¡¯s about time to get out of this #crabmentality - hope u know what that means. Enjoy when someone prospers. Or does well or does 4 his country."

But my love it will be tough. But you have taught us to be tough. I love you with all my heart and ....??????? #minalmodi 09-06-1954 - 10-12-2018 ? rest in peace now my jaan pic.twitter.com/sBYMkXkaqK

Lalit Modi, in 2010, fled to London citing a threat to his life.

The BCCI committee under the supervision of the late Arun Jaitely, in 2013, had found him guilty of eight charges that include signing a free commercial time deal without governing council¡¯s approval, rigging bids, favouring the World Sports Group over TV rights and planning a rival cricket league.

"DO U THINK I CARE ABOUT U CALLING ME A FUGITIVE - NO. I WAS BORN WITH A ¡°DIAMOND SPOON¡± I did not take a bribe or ever needed to. LEAST YOU FORGET I AM THE ELDEST GRANDSON OF #raibahadurgujarmalmodi I bought money. Not take. And specially public money. Never took a govt favor.
