I dig deeper than gold: Sushmita Sen shuts down trolls aimed at her relationship with Lalit Modi

| @indiablooms | Jul 18, 2022, at 05:50 pm

Former Miss Universe and actor Sushmita Sen has been trending on social media for the last several days after her relationship with ex-Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman and a fugitive, Lalit Modi, was made public by the latter.

Eversince the news broke, Sen was trolled by a section of netizens who questioned her relationship with Modi.

Some of the trolls had also termed Sen a "gold digger" linking her relationship with the "wealth" of the first IPL chairman.

Responding to the trolls for the first time, Sen Sunday shared a long post on her Instagram profile with much sarcasm.

She wrote, "The so called intellectuals with their idiosyncrasies….the ignorant with their cheap & at times funny gossip The friends I never had & the acquaintances I’ve never met….all sharing their grand opinions & deep knowledge of my life & character…monetising the ‘Gold Digger’ all the way!!! Ah these geniuses!!!

"I dig deeper than Gold…and I’ve always (famously) preferred Diamonds!!And yes I still buy them myself!!!"

Modi last Thursday took the internet by storm, sharing a few vacation pictures with Sen calling her his "better-half".

When all were speculative of their marriage, Modi came out with a clarification tweet where he committed to having just a relationship with Sen.

Though Sen is yet to publicly acknowledge the relationship, she shared a cryptic Instagram post which reads, "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!!!"
