New Delhi. Once the world’s most charismatic sports entrepreneur, many stories of the personal life of the first IPL chairman are full of colorfulness. There is fame, there is height, there is prestige, there is arrogance and pain is also incalculable. It is said about Lalit Modi that he is the most short-tempered person in his family, does not listen to anyone but his style of work is mostly unique. In 1991, when Lalit Modi told his mother Bina Modi about his marriage to a girl 10 years older than himself, she was stunned. The girl whose name was taken by Lalit Modi was Bina Modi’s friend. Some time back, he was given a place in a house in Delhi.
Mother Bina was shocked by the decision to marry Meenal.
Minal’s family and Lalit Modi’s family were already familiar with each other. Minal’s first marriage was with Nigerian Jack Sagarani and she already had a daughter. When the two separated, she came to Delhi via London, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and became the guest of Lalit Modi’s mother Bina Modi. Then Bina Modi was in America with her son Lalit Modi and was caught in a case. After the matter was resolved, both came to Delhi. Here Lalit Modi met Minal and very soon Lalit Modi told his parents about this. Both the parents were angry with the decision of this marriage. For a few days, there was a round of threats from all sides, but eventually it became a matter of marriage and on October 17, 1991, both of them got married.
After marriage started living in Mumbai
After marriage, Lalit Modi was also made a director in his father’s company Godfrey Phillips. From here the star of Lalit Modi started touching the sky. After this, Lalit Modi and Minal moved to Mumbai where they had a son Ruchir and daughter Alia. Lalit Modi started living with his wife Minal and both children and a step-daughter Karima Sagarani in KK Modi flat on Pedder Road in Bombay. However, after this the stars of Lalit Modi’s fortunes started descending. During this, many allegations were also leveled against him. He often got into controversies. Despite this, his glory never decreased. Then the story of IPL is a different story. But now pain was about to come in his life. In 2018, first wife Minal died of cancer. After years, Lalit Modi has come in the discussion.
Son and daughter also live in London
