Lalit Modi denies entering Salman Khan's show, Bigg Boss 20 and issues legal notice

A while back, Lalit Modi took to his Instagram handle and slammed reports claiming that he might be seen on the show, Bigg Boss 20. Earlier, a source close to the pre-production of Bigg Boss 20 informed Bollywood Bubble that the makers of the reality show have approached Lalit Modi to be part of the reality show as a contestant. However, Lalit has set the record straight by stating that he has not been approached by anybody for BB 20. In the caption, he wrote:

"Fake News. Period. I have not been approached for Bigg Boss 20. I am not participating in Bigg Boss 20. And I have no intention of doing so. Amazing how a completely fabricated story can become 'news' without anyone bothering to ask the person concerned. My lawyers have issued the attached notice. Perhaps next time, verify before you publish."

As the fake news gained traction on social media, Lalit Modi issued a legal notice. In the notice, Lalit’s lawyers address reports claiming his alleged participation in the show, Bigg Boss 20. An excerpt from the notice can be read as:
