Industrialist and former chairman of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata, has addressed recent concerns regarding his health, dismissing reports of hospitalization due to a drop in blood pressure. On Monday, rumours spread that the 86-year-old business icon was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital in critical condition. However, in a social media post, Tata assured the public that these claims were unfounded and that he remains in good spirits.
“I am aware of the recent rumours circulating regarding my health and want to assure everyone that these claims are unfounded. There is no cause for worry. I remain in good spirits,” Ratan Tata posted on Instagram, easing concerns over his health. He clarified that his hospital visit was for routine medical check-ups, something he undergoes due to his age.
