IPL Founder Lalit Modi May Join Bigg Boss 20

Lalit Modi, the influential figure behind the Indian Premier League (IPL), is reportedly in talks to join the reality television show Bigg Boss 20. The show is anticipated to premiere on September 6, 2026, with Modi's potential participation stirring considerable interest.

Modi, who founded and served as the first Chairman and Commissioner of the IPL for three years until 2010, has been approached to be a contestant. This development comes as other celebrities have also been reported to be joining the upcoming season of the popular reality series.

Beyond his significant role in cricket administration, including leadership positions in the Champions League and the BCCI, Modi has had a notable personal life, including a past relationship with Sushmita Sen. His career has also seen controversy, leading to his suspension from the IPL chairman position in 2010.

Modi's early life was marked by wealth and a notable incident of expulsion from school due to truancy, and later a conviction for assault. He has spoken about leaving India in 2010 due to security threats.
