Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya Reunite at Grand Party in London, Go Viral Singing ‘I Did It My Way’ Amid Legal Controversies
In a spectacle that quickly captured the internet’s attention, Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya, two of India’s most high-profile and controversial businessmen, were recently spotted sharing the spotlight at a lavish party in London. The event, hosted by Lalit Modi, saw both men singing Frank Sinatra’s iconic anthem “I Did It My Way,” a song fittingly bold considering their turbulent legal histories.
The video, originally posted by Lalit Modi on Instagram, shows the duo in a cheerful mood, singing with gusto and engaging with the crowd. The moment, while light-hearted on the surface, quickly went viral and sparked a wave of mixed reactions online. With both Modi and Mallya embroiled in high-profile financial and legal cases in India, their public display of camaraderie and celebration in a foreign land struck a controversial chord.
The grand party, held in one of London’s upscale venues, was attended by over 310 guests. The guest list included family, close friends, and familiar faces from the sports world. Among the notable attendees was former Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricketer Chris Gayle, who shared a photo of himself alongside Modi and Mallya. His Instagram story read, “We living it up. Thanks for a lovely evening,” tagging both men in a gesture of appreciation.

Lalit Modi, once hailed for his visionary role in founding and expanding the Indian Premier League (IPL), has been residing in the UK since 2010. He fled India following a suspension by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and faces a string of legal accusations, including money laundering, foreign exchange violations, and corruption. Despite being away from the limelight in India, Modi has continued to stay socially active, frequently posting about his life in exile.
Similarly, Vijay Mallya—dubbed the “King of Good Times” for his flamboyant lifestyle and high-profile business ventures—is facing intense legal scrutiny back home. Accused of defaulting on loans worth ₹9,000 crore, Mallya has been charged with fraud and money laundering. He was arrested in London in 2017 at the request of Indian authorities but has been out on bail as his extradition case remains pending. Mallya continues to claim that the allegations are politically motivated.
Yet, in the face of such serious accusations, both men seemed unfazed during the London celebration. Their confident rendition of “I Did It My Way” came off almost as a personal statement—perhaps defiant, perhaps nostalgic. Lalit Modi captioned the video with a cheeky note: “Had an amazing night with 310 friends and family… Thank you to one and all who attended this evening and made it one of the most special nights for me. Hope this video doesn’t break the internet. Controversial for sure. But that’s what I do best.”
The caption adds another layer to the spectacle. It not only acknowledges the controversy but leans into it, a trait both men have exhibited throughout their public lives. Whether it was building one of cricket’s most profitable leagues or running a liquor empire with a luxury airline, both Modi and Mallya have lived lives marked by ambition, excess, and ultimately, scrutiny.

Their public reappearance together—smiling, singing, and entertaining guests—serves as a reminder of their enduring personalities, despite the legal and moral clouds hanging over their reputations. While their cases continue to unfold in courtrooms, it’s clear that, for now, they are determined to live on their own terms—just as the song says.
In a world where public perception is shaped instantly through social media, the viral video of Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya’s performance has once again placed them at the center of attention. Whether viewed as a display of audacity or a celebration of resilience, the moment was undeniably unforgettable—a scene that could only unfold at a grand party in London.
