New Delhi: Ratan Tata, the former chairman of Tata Sons, has spoken about the time he fell in love with a woman in Los Angeles and “almost got married” to her in an interview with Humans of Bombay. Tata stated that even though he got into other relationships after that, he could never find someone who he could call his “wife”.
“I almost got married in Los Angeles… but couldn’t because I returned to India soon after to be with my grandmother. The person I hoped to marry was supposed to join me shortly after,” he said in the interview. The industrialist stated that the relationship fell apart after the India-China war started in 1962 as his partner was not allowed to visit India by her parents. “And so, we were left with an ‘almost’, a ‘would have been’,” he added.
Tata said, “After that, there were other relationships, but I never found anyone I could call my wife. And by then, my life itself had become a conflict. I was constantly working and travelling, with little time for myself. But today when I look back, I don’t regret any of it, not even for a second.”
