Lalit Modi denies rumours that he will participate in Bigg Boss 20 and says he has not been approached for any such role. He also addresses claims circulating on social media, calling them unverified and false.
Both outlets report that Modi reacts publicly to the spread of the allegations, urging verification before stories are published. NDTV highlights his language describing the reports as fabricated, while Times of India adds that he calls for media outlets to check facts and helps dispel any connection between him and the reality show. Modi’s posts also indicate he is taking steps beyond clarification, including issuing a legal notice regarding the spread of what he characterizes as misinformation. The coverage focuses on his denial and his response to the rumours rather than providing independent confirmation of the claims.
Across both reports, the central points are that Modi rejects the Bigg Boss 20 association, says he was not contacted, and contests the reports’ credibility; details of the legal notice are not elaborated in the excerpts.
