Did Simi Garewal Date Ratan Tata? Here’s What She Said

New Delhi: Simi Garewal once admitted to dating Ratan Tata. She shared a heartfelt tribute following the iconic industrialist’s passing on Wednesday. Ratan Tata, the former chairman of Tata Sons and a beloved philanthropist, passed away at 86. He had been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on Monday after suffering a sudden drop in blood pressure and was in critical condition in the ICU.

In her emotional tribute, Simi took to social media to express her grief, sharing a nostalgic photo of herself with Tata from her iconic talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. Alongside the throwback picture, she wrote, “They say you have gone .. It’s too hard to bear your loss..too hard.. Farewell my friend.. #RatanTata.”

Simi Garewal had opened up about her relationship with Ratan Tata in a 2011 interview. She described their bond, saying, “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.” Despite their connection, their romance did not last. However, they remained close friends over the years, News 18 reported.

Ratan Tata, widely admired for his work ethic, humility, and generosity, never married nor had any children, despite coming close several times. He revealed in an interview that he had been in love on four occasions but never followed through with marriage due to various reasons. One of his most serious relationships was in the early 1960s while working in the US, but circumstances, including the 1962 Indo-China War, prevented it from moving forward.

Countless tributes are pouring in for the industrialist who shaped India’s corporate landscape and touched lives far beyond the boardroom.
