Mumbai,  Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen, who has been the focal point of headlines for a few hours now courtesy IPL founder Lalit Modi's social media posts, has broken her silence.

Since it all started from a social media post, the 'Aarya' actress and former Miss Universe chose the platform of social media to share a cryptic message.

Sushmita took to her Instagram and posted a picture of herself with her daughters - Renee and Alisah.

She wrote in the caption, "I'm in a happy place. NOT MARRIED... NO RINGS... Unconditionally surrounded by love!!"

She further wrote in the caption, "Enough clarification given... Now back to life & work. Thank you for sharing in my happiness always... and for those who don't... it's #NYOB (none of your business) Anyway!! I love you guys!!"

Earlier, Lalit Modi posted several of his pictures with Sushmita from their holidays and social gatherings claiming that the two are dating. "Just back in London after a whirling global tour #maldives # sardinia with the families - not to mention my #better looking partner @sushmitasen47 - a new beginning a new life finally", he had posted on his social handles.
