Billionaire, entrepreneur, playboy, party freak, conman, cheat, fugitive, genius. This man has been given multiple tags over his life at the helm, and we’re talking about the founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and former Vice President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Lalit Modi.
Known not only for creating the second biggest sporting league in the world, but also for recreating the landscape of cricket in India, Modi did wonders during his time in India. However, controversies marred his brilliance, and he had to run away from India to London, where he stays till date. After many years in hiding almost, Modi has now given an explosive interview with Raj Shamani on YouTube.
Lalit Modi podcast on IPL, Dawood, Shashi Tharoor, and more
Modi believes he’s done both good and bad in his life, but primarily good. He believes he’s made lives, and was shunned out of India when he didn’t comply with certain threats, politics, and wrongdoings of influential people. This Lalit Modi podcast will keep you hooked, based in London and apparently shot for 7+ hours and over two days too.
The Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor angle has been openly discussed, where Modi mentioned he was threatened to allow Sunanda Pushkar shares in Kochi Tuskers Kerala, which the IPL boss didn’t allow. That’s where the downfall began and everything happened to Modi, including death threats from underworld boss, Dawood Ibrahim.

This Lalit Modi interview answers all questions which cricket fans have been asking for a decade and more, but have never got answers too. Who’s lying? We don’t know. All we know is that there’s two sides to a story and Modi was up against very, very powerful people and entities in India; maybe, he couldn’t survive the heat there at the time. Maybe, he’s not a criminal after all.
Modi said he doesn’t care what people think of him, because he can look himself in the mirror and know he’s done good. The Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor recording has been making news, but there’s a lot more to hear in the interview. The Lalit Modi allegations will always stay, but here’s a chance to see what his version of the story was:
Where is Lalit Modi now?
Lalit Modi is now in London, where he’s staying because he will be arrested the minute he enters India. Even the Lalit Modi interview you see above, was shot in India. So is Lalit Modi in India? NO, he’s not. He got teary eyed at one point where he spoke about drugs, depression, and multiple assassinations on his life. He said he was born with money, and never needed more of it. This and much more on the podcast!
He spoke about his childhood, his grandfather, birth in Modinagar, and his family home which had 100+ rooms. The entire Sunanda Pushkar angle will ask a lot of more questions, even if Modi never gets vindicated. He spoke about running away from his school at the age of 7, and so many more stories from his childhood. Take a look at his tweet on the podcast which went live on 24th Nov 2024:
