Lalit Modi on Fraud, Next IPL Season, RCB, Sushmita Sen & Billionaire Life | Karishma Mehta

Описание: The man who built IPL from nothing, scripted every controversy that kept you hooked, and is today called a fraud and a fugitive, is sitting right here, saying if he had to do it again, he would do it again without blinking.

In this episode of Humans of Bombay Show, the founder of IPL and the most controversial figure in the world of cricket, Lalit Modi, sits down with Karishma Mehta. We travelled all the way to London, straight to his home, to have the deepest, most unfiltered and one of the longest conversations Lalit Modi has ever had on camera.

In this episode, Lalit talks about:

How he built the IPL from scratch and spent millions of his own money doing it
How every IPL controversy you have ever seen was scripted
Who is really taking the IPL money and what is happening inside BCCI
Sanjiv Goenka, Shashi Tharoor, Rajiv Shukla and the people who failed IPL
3 assassination attempts by Dawood and why they wanted him dead
The only reason he left India and whether he will ever come back
Sushmita Sen and why she is the most special woman he has ever met
Losing his wife, falling into depression and finding his way back
His grandfather's legacy, generational wealth and the family that built an empire
