Comedian Tanmay Bhat hilariously recreates Sushmita Sen-Lalit Modi pic

Social media has been flooded with hilarious memes after Lalit Modi, the founder and first chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL) announced that he is dating actor and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen.

Now, comedian Tanmay Bhat has recreated the viral picture of Lalit Modi and Sushmita Sen. Bhat recreated a romantic photo of the couple and shared it on Instagram. But there was a twist.

And as expected, the post has gone viral. In the photo, Bhat can be seen lying on a sofa, just like Lalit Modi while his friend, Naveed Manakkodan, is sitting next to him as the two make eye contact. Tanmay Bhat has kept his hand on his friend's head almost exactly like in the original picture. What makes the post even funnier is the caption.

Tanmay Bhat's caption starts in the same way as Lalit Modi's - "A new beginning. A new life. Over the moon." But the comedian then announces that the two are roommates.

"A new beginning. a new life. over the moon. In love doesn't mean marriage. Yet. But one that by god’s grace will happen. I just announced that we are flatmates," the comedian wrote.

While announcing his relationship in a series of tweets, Lalit Modi had posted several photos of him with Sushmita Sen. "A new beginning a new life. Over the moon," read the caption.
The comments section under Mr Bhat's picture is proof that the internet just couldn't get enough of the hilarity.

Lalit Modi trended big time on Thursday soon after he announced that he was dating the former Miss Universe. He also clarified that the two aren't married yet and that "it is a new beginning".
"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.
