Simi Garewal’s Heartfelt Tribute to Ratan Tata Touches Hearts

Simi Garewal spoke about her old relationship with Ratan Tata. I used to hear stories about them, but it wasn’t talked about a lot. I don’t know why. On Thursday, Simi broke her silence. She doesn’t often use social media. But that day, she shared her feelings. She said she felt deep sadness.

Ratan Tata passed away on Wednesday night. He was a big businessman. I knew him from seeing him in the news. But for Simi, it was different. It was personal. They were more than just friends, but few people knew that. She posted a collage of their photos. I saw her message: “They say you have gone. It’s too hard to bear your loss… too hard. Farewell my friend.”

I could feel the pain in her words. You know when someone close to you passes, and everything feels unreal? Simi was going through that. She once said Ratan was funny, humble, and caring. He didn’t care about money that much. He was calm, especially when away from India.

I also remember Simi talking about Ratan in an interview back in 2011. She said they had dated, but then they split up. Even so, they stayed very close friends after that. It’s rare, I think, for people to stay that close after breaking up, but they did.

Simi Garewal has been acting for a long time, starting in 1962. She was in a lot of films, some in Bollywood and Bengali cinema too. But she got super popular for her talk show, Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. That’s how I knew her best, seeing her interview all those big stars.

Then Ratan Tata died at 11:30 PM on Wednesday. He was at a hospital in Mumbai. He was sick for a few days before. It’s sad. He was a great person, and many people miss him now, just like Simi does.
