'King of Good Times' Vijay Mallya & Lalit Modi sing along to 'I Did It My Way', video goes viral

"Hope this video does not break the internet. Controversial for sure. But that what I do best," Lalit Modi captioned the video.

Businessman Vijay Mallya and former Indian Premiere League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi were spotted singing the lyrics to I Did It My Way by Frank Sinatra, in one of the gala parties hosted by Modi.

The video posted on Lalit Modi's Instagram went viral almost immediately, and the controversies revolving around the duo once again came into light. With Mallya declared a fugitive in India, the party attracted the attention of social media users.

With 310 friends and family of the host, he mentioned that the night was one of the most special moments of his life. "Hope this video does not break the internet. Controversial for sure. But that what I do best," he captioned.

The party also saw the attendance of famous cricketer Chris Gayle, with the host thanking the West Indies star player for the videos shared. "We living it up. Thanks for a lovely evening," he shared, posting a picture of him with Modi and Mallya on his Instagram. Gayle had played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), which was formed by Vijay Mallya.

Lalit Modi is living in a self-imposed exile in United Kingdom since 2010, ever since he had been suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for misconduct and financial irregularities. The allegations against him include money laundering, bid rigging, and violating Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA).

Businessman Vijay Mallya has been charged with money laundering and non-payment of loans that amount to around 9,000 crores. Nicknamed the 'King of Good Times,' he had purchased the RCB team in 2008, and associated it with his brand Royal Challenge. In 2016, due to case legalities and allegations, the team's ownership shifted to United Spirits Limited. He is currently on bail, and has sought a home in London. In a recent podcast, he mentioned his keenness to return to India if promised a fair trial.

Despite the controversies surrounding the two big names, the duo appeared to ease out for the evening and enjoy their time.
