Actor Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi, the founding chairman of the Indian Premier League, have made their relationship public. Of course, s ocial media went into a frenzy after the announcement, with a barrage of memes and reactions surfaced on the internet. On Saturday, comedian Tanmay Bhat joined the fray by recreating a photo of Lalit Modi and Sushmita Sen.
Lalit Modi tweeted multiple images of himself with Sushmita Sen while announcing his relationship in a string of tweets. “A new beginning a new life. Over the moon,” read the caption.
A photo of the couple was replicated by Tanmay Bhat and posted on Instagram. But there’s a catch.
Tanmay can be seen in the picture reclining on a couch, just like Lalit Modi. He looks across at his friend, Naveed Manakkodan, who is sitting next to him. Like in the original photo, Tanmay Bhat has maintained a close grip on his friend’s head. The caption only adds to the post’s humor.
The opening line of Tanmay Bhat’s caption reads, “A new beginning. A new life. Over the moon.” The comedian, however, goes on to reveal that the two are housemates.
“A new beginning. a new life. over the moon. In love doesn’t mean marriage. Yet. But one that by gods grace will happen. I just announced that we are flatmates,” the comedian wrote.
The post went quite viral as expected. The proof that the internet simply couldn’t get enough of the humour comes in the comments section.
“Why do you do this ya,” a user wrote.
Another commented, “This conversation started with an SMS.”
After announcing his relationship with the former Miss Universe on Thursday, Lalit Modi quickly became a major online trend. He further stated that “it is a new beginning” and that the two are not yet married.
“Just back in london after a whirling global tour #maldives #sardinia with the families – not to mention my #betterhalf @sushmitasen47 – a new beginning a new life finally. Over the moon (sic),” Lalit Modi said in a tweet.
