86-year-old Ratan Tata, the industrialist I’ve always admired, took his final bow on October 9, 2024.

She posted a heartwarming collage of our time together on her show, Rendezvous with Simi Garewal on X (once known as Twitter). In her emotional message, she poured out her deep sorrow for his departure.

She expressed the struggle of dealing with his absence in these words: “They claim you’ve moved on.

Ananya considered them to be perfect models for her character’s development, since they meticulously record their experiences.
