A week has passed since Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi made their relationship known to the world. From the confirmation to controversies, here's the complete after story in this week's Throwback Thursday.

The date was July 14. Indian businessman Lalit Modi dropped an array of cosy posts with Sushmita Sen and made their relationship known to the world. It took everyone a few seconds to register what was written in the caption. And minutes later, Sushmita and Lalit became the talk of the town. Today marks one fateful week of Lalit shouting from the rooftops about his love for Sushmita. And not everything has been hunky-dory ever since.

Sushmita was called a 'gold-digger' and was victimised mercilessly on social media. But the former Miss Universe isn’t the one to sit back and let the trolls slide and gave it back. Now that a week has passed, here’s revisiting all that happened ever since Sushmita and Lalit announced they are together, in this week’s Throwback Thursday.

On the evening of July 14, Lalit Modi announced that he is dating Sushmita Sen. He dropped a plethora of photos from their love-filled Maldives vacation and wrote, “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. Over the moon.. In love does not mean marriage YET. BUT ONE THAT BY GODS GRACE WILL HAPPEN. I JUST ANNOUNCED THAT WE ARE TOGETHER (sic).” In fact, Lalit also changed his Instagram profile picture and put up one with his ladylove.

Lalit Modi called Sushmita Sen his ‘partner’ in the announcement post. Immediately, fans began speculating if marriage is on the cards for them. Some even guessed if the two are already married.
