Business tycoon and former Indian Premier League founder Lalit Modi has reacted strongly to widespread reports claiming that he will be participating in the upcoming season of the popular reality show Bigg Boss. Dismissing the rumors as completely baseless and fabricated, the businessman clarified that he was never approached by the show’s producers, channels, or representatives, nor does he have any intention of joining the Salman Khan-hosted series. Calling out media publications and social media handles for spreading unverified information without reaching out to him directly, Modi shared his anger over how easily speculative stories are published as factual news. Taking a firm legal stance against the false reporting, he urged news outlets and digital platforms to act responsibly and verify their sources before putting out claims about public figures in the future.
Along with his strong statement on social media, Lalit Modi shared a copy of an official legal notice issued by his legal team to address the situation directly. The legal notice formally demands that all news platforms, media houses, and digital channels immediately withdraw, recall, and take down any articles or posts linking him to the reality show. The notice explicitly states that Modi holds sole rights over his name, image, and likeness, and no media entity is authorized to use his identity or imply any association between him and the production. Warning media outlets against repeating or reproducing the unverified story, the document makes it clear that any further unauthorized reporting or false representation of his involvement with the show will carry serious legal consequences.
