Lalit Modi was earlier married to Minal Modi, who had left for the heavenly abode in 2018 after a long fight with cancer. The couple had tied the knot in October 1991. The couple embraced parenthood with the arrival of their first daughter, Aaliya Modi in 1993. And a year later, the family got completed with the arrival of their son, Ruchir Modi. The couple raised their two kids in Mumbai.
Lalit Modi and Minal Modi's courtship had begun at home. She was ten years older than Lalit, and the Modis had not agreed to their union as Minal was not just older than their son, Lalit, but she was also a divorcee. Lalit Modi's father, KK Modi had refused to give his approval for the marriage. After a lot of threats, fights and angry outbursts, he was granted permission. On October 17, 1991, Lalit Modi and Minal Modi tied the knot in Delhi, after which they moved to Mumbai.
Lalit Modi's wife, Minal Modi had given a tough fight against cancer. She was battling the deadly disease for 17 years of life, but it recurred ten times. It was in 2014 that the deadly disease relapsed, which had taken her life. On December 10, 2018, Minal Modi had taken her last breath at the age of 64. Lalit Modi had penned a long note on Twitter for his wife, Minal. He had written:
"My love, my life, my soulmate...You are finally at peace, and I am sure you will be watching over us. I must continue as promised to you in ensuring our children are protected and nurtured and loved and I know you will always be there...But my love it will be tough. But you have taught us to be tough."
Lalit Modi often remembers his wife, Minal and pens heat melting posts for her. Last year in June, Lalit shared a video and showed how he had celebrated his wife, Minal's birthday. In the video, beautiful pictures of his wife were placed on a whimsical setup. Along with it, Lalit had written:
"My Late Wife Minal! Today would have been my late wife minal modi 67 Birthday. This Time i have made a clip of all our Happy moments. As that is how have started to think about her. May she continue to RIP."
For those who don't know, Lalit Modi's elder daughter, Aliya Modi got married in May 2022 in Venice.
