Ratan Tata Passes Away: Simi Garewal pens heartbreaking note after Indian icon’s demise; ‘Its too hard to bear…’

As someone who has witnessed the evolution of India’s industrial landscape, I can attest that Ratan Tata’s passing is more than just the loss of a great businessman; it’s the end of an era. I had the privilege of knowing him personally, and our relationship spanned decades, from shared laughter on Simi Garewal‘s Rendezvous to heartfelt exchanges in later years.


86-year-old business magnate Ratan Tata passed away on October 9, 2024, leaving an extraordinary heritage behind. On October 10, 2024, his close friend and actress Simi Garewal shared a heartfelt message on social media about his death. While numerous individuals in the Bollywood industry posted tributes, Simi’s message was especially poignant because of their past romantic relationship. Decades after they parted ways, they still remained friends. In her emotional post, Simi wrote, “Your loss is too difficult to bear…

On Thursday morning, Simi shared a collage of images featuring Ratan Tata (previously known as Twitter) and herself, which were taken during his appearance on her show, Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. Accompanying the pictures, she wrote a heartfelt message: “They say you have departed. Your loss is difficult to endure…it’s too hard. Farewell, my friend…#RatanTata.

In the past, Simi disclosed that she briefly dated Ratan Tata while she was prominent in Bollywood. Despite their separation, they have maintained a strong friendship.

During an interview with the Times of India in 2011, Simi stated that she and Ratan had a deep history, characterizing him as flawless, having a strong sense of humor, maintaining humility, and exemplifying the traits of a genuine gentleman.

Additionally, she noted that he didn’t appear driven by money as a main factor, and she found him to be noticeably more at ease when traveling outside of India compared to when he was there.

On Wednesday evening, October 9th, Ratan Tata sadly passed away. Prior to this, he had been admitted at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai due to a sudden decrease in blood pressure. He was severely ill and receiving care in the ICU. The unfortunate news of his passing was announced late that night.

On Thursday, October 10, 2024, between 10 am and 4 pm, his physical remains are being exhibited at the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) in southern Mumbai, allowing the public to express their condolences. His funeral ceremony will take place later in the day in Worli, Mumbai.

Known as a highly esteemed figure, Ratan Tata significantly impacted the Tata Group with his charitable nature and compassion. He was deeply admired in India, where he held a special place in many hearts.
