Soon after he shared the tweet, speculations about Modi and Sen’s wedding started doing the rounds on social media. In a follow up post, the businessman clarified that they are just “dating”.
“Just for clarity. Not married – just dating each other. That too it will happen one day,” he wrote.

Sen, 46, has not yet confirmed her relationship with Modi. She had announced her split from model-actor Rohman Shawl in December last year.
Modi had relocated to London from India in 2010, amid scandals and controversies linked to the cricket tournament β IPL. In March, the High Court of London cleared him of “actionable misrepresentation” as alleged by former Indian model-turned-investor Gurpreet Gill Maag in a legal challenge.
