Among other attendees were Indian singer Carlton Braganza and former cricketer Chris Gayle, who was seen signing a bat for Modi.

The highlight of the celebrations was Modi and Mallya singing ‘I Did It My Way’ by Frank Sinatra on karaoke.

Thanking Braganza and Gayle, Modi said, “Hope this video does not break the internet. Controversial for sure. But that’s what I do best."

Earlier, former RCB player, Gayle, had shared a picture with Mallya and Lalit Modi. “We living it up. Thanks for a lovely evening," he said on his Instagram.

Lalit Modi is the former vice-president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He is accused of alleged bid-rigging, money laundering, and violating the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA). He left India in 2010 while under investigation for alleged financial misconduct, including unauthorised fund transfers.

Meanwhile, Mallya is an accused in a bank loan default case of over Rs 9,000 crore from an SBI-led consortium, involving his defunct Kingfisher Airlines. He left for the UK in 2016 and was declared a fugitive in 2019. He has been living in the UK since then.
