Industrialist Rata Tata passed away on Wednesday night at the age of 86. The citizens of the country are deeply saddened and most feel like it’s a personal loss due to his unparalleled work in bringing the Tata Group on a global platform, his philanthropic work amidst much more. Tata touched many lives and inspired many. As many celebs also mourned his loss, ex-girlfriend Simi Garewal also bid an emotional farewell to him.
As the tycoon passed away, she penned a note on X, and said, “It’s too hard to bear your loss..too hard.. Farewell my friend..#RatanTata”
For those not in the know, Simi had admitted to have dated him for a brief period of time. They later parted ways but continued to remain very close friends. She had said in an interview in 2011, “Ratan and I go back a long way. He’s perfection, he’s got a sense of humour, is modest, and the perfect gentleman. Money was never his driving force. He’s not as relaxed in India as he is abroad.”
She had also once spoken about him, in a description she wrote on her Youtube channel which read, “Ratan Tata was my first friend in Mumbai. We had both just returned from abroad into terra incognita; both at the threshold of an uncharted world. Despite his decades of success, Ratan’s humility and integrity never wavered.”
Tata had appeared on Simi’s chat show once and had revealed he almost came close to getting married a few times, but never ended up marrying.
