Ratan Tata Posted Photo With Only One Celebrity On Instagram, And It's Not Big B, Rajini Or Kamal

Ratan Tata Dies at 86: Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata passed away aged 86 on Wednesday, October 10, 2024. Following the heartbreaking news, a wave of grief swept across the world. The industrialist was admired and loved in the business industry and within the film fraternity. Amid this outpouring of tributes, many shared photos in his memory. However, if we look back at his Instagram, the only celebrity he posted a picture with wasn’t an Indian celebrity, but a rockstar.

The only celebrity Ratan Tata posted a picture with on Instagram

Ratan Tata was known for his simplicity and humility which reflects on his social media as well. With 10 million followers, his Instagram only features business insights and his love for dogs. However, one specific post stands out, highlighting his interest in rock music.

In 2022, Tata shared a memorable moment on Instagram, recounting his experience of meeting Guns N’ Roses’ lead guitarist, Slash.

In January 2022, while visiting a Jaguar dealership in California, Ratan Tata unexpectedly met Slash, who was there to collect his new Jaguar XKR. As a fanboy, Tata Rata clicked a happy picture with the legend and posted it on social media with the caption: “The day I visited Galpin Jaguar on one of my retail outlet visits, I was excited to meet this gentleman from Guns N’ Roses who was taking delivery of his new Jaguar XKR. A very polite rockstar, Slash.” This remains the only celebrity photo on his social media from the entertainment world. He has, however, posted another picture with cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.

Saul Hudson is a 90s rock icon popularly known as Slash. He is the lead singer in Guns N' Roses. He achieved global fame in the late 1980s and 1990s and has been part of various projects, including Slash's Snakepit and Velvet Revolver. He has released 604 songs across 155 albums and singles and even won a Grammy for his contributions to rock music.

Ratan Tata no more

Padma Vibhushan awardee Ratan Tata breathed his last at south Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital at 11.30 pm, a top police official told PTI. He was admitted to the hospital for the past few days.

In a statement, Tata's family said, "We his brothers, sisters, and family take solace and comfort in the outpouring of love and respect from all who admired him. While he is no longer with us in person, his legacy of humility, generosity and purpose will continue to inspire future generations." In a statement, Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran said, "It is with a profound sense of loss that we bid farewell to Ratan Naval Tata, a truly uncommon leader whose immeasurable contributions have shaped not only the Tata Group but also the very fabric of our nation.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi , in a post on social media platform X, condoled the death of Tata saying he was "extremely pained by his passing away."
