On Sunday, all hell broke loose when it was revealed that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had helped former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi acquire travel documents on ‘humanitarian grounds’ to attend to his wife who was undergoing treatment for cancer in Portugal last year.
However, it seems Portugal has not been the former IPL commissioner's only port of call. His Instagram and Twitter feeds show Modi been living the high life with celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Paris Hilton and Kevin Spacey in the past 10 months or so.
Lalit Modi lounged in a jet after his holiday to Havana. He captions the image “What a fabulous trip to Havana, Cuba to celelbrate Minal Modi with close family and friends only. Thank you all for making it from far ends.”
The sun, beach and the good times.. There's no living like Lalit Modi. “Had a most wonderful day @amanpuri, Phuket, Thailand in the ultimate resort in the word,” says the former IPL boss.
I like to live life king size, says the former IPL boss. Here Modi is giving a Skype interview to journalist Rajdeep Sardesai. What a #beautiful spot to do the interview from #oneandonlyreethirah (Maldives), says Modi on Instagram.
