Days after rumours surfaced about her new beau, Indian actor Sushmita Sen has broken her silence on dating Lalit Modi, the founder of the IPL who had announced that they both are in a relationship. The actor has now taken to Instagram and cleared the air by stating she’s not “married” with “no rings” and is in a happy place.

On Thursday, Modi had taken to Twitter and shared photos with Sen, announcing that he is dating her. He took everyone by surprise as he made the revelation with series of photos of him and the Main Hoon Na actor and called her his “better looking partner”.

In another tweet, the businessman clarified that he is not married to Sen and said they are simply dating right now. “That too it will happen one day,” he wrote.

His posts sent netizens and the Indian media into a frenzy, especially since Sen had not announced news herself and it followed a very public breakup with model Rohman Shawl. Taking to Instagram on Friday, the winner of Miss Universe 1994 shared a photo with her daughters and wrote, “I am in a happy place! NOT MARRIED…NO RINGS…Unconditionally surrounded by love. Enough clarification given, now back to life & work.”

She also thanked everyone for sharing her happiness and for those who don’t “it’s NOYB [None of Your Business]”.

Her post received comments from her fans who longed for her response as well as model and Bigg Boss contestant Gauahar Khan who sent her “blessings” for Sen.

The Biwi No.1 star was very open about her relationship with Shawl, which she made Insta official in 2018. They parted ways in 2021. Since then, Sen has been mum about her personal affairs on social media and has kept her life more private.
