New Delhi: A day after former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi’s announcement that he is dating Bollywood actress and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen, the actress’s ex-boyfriend Rohman Shawl reacted to the news of their relationship.
Responding to the news of Lalit Modi dating Sushmita, Rohman told Pinkvilla in an interview, “Let’s be happy for them na. Love is beautiful. All I know is if she has chosen someone, he is worth it!”
Sushmita Sen and Rohman Shawl parted ways in December 2021 after three years of relationship. She announced her break-up with Rohman in an Instagram post.
Meanwhile, Sushmita too took to Instagram and broke her silence on her relationship status. The actress posted a photo with her daughters and captioned the photo: “I am in a happy place!!! NOT MARRIED NO RINGS Unconditionally surrounded by love!! Enough clarification given now back to life & work!! Thank you for sharing in my happiness always and for those who don’t it’s #NOYB Anyway!!! I love you guys!!! #duggadugga #yourstruly (sic)."
On the other hand, Sushmita's father Shubeer Sen and brother Rajeev Sen both said they did not know about the couple’s relationship.
Rajeev Sen said that he was "pleasantly surprised" about the new development in his sister's life, and he had no idea about it, earlier.
"I am pleasantly surprised. I will speak to my sister before I say anything. I wasn't aware of it at all. My sister is yet to confirm this from her end, so I can't comment, as of now," Rajeev told The Times of India.
Sushmita’s father Shubeer shared the same sentiment and told the media, "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."
