Ratan Tata’s death has sent waves of grief across the nation. The industrialist breathed his last on Wednesday (October 9) at a hospital in Mumbai and reactions have been pouring in on social media. From political leaders to business tycoons and Bollywood celebrities, a lot of prominent personalities have reacted to Ratan Tata's death. He might no longer be with us, but his presence can be felt in the legacy that he has left behind.
Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh, who is in Europe for his Dil-Luminati World Tour, paid an emotional tribute to Ratan Tata during his recent concert in Germany. He halted his performance to remember the legendary industrialist who passed away at the age of 86.
In a heartfelt moment captured by fans, Diljit took to the stage to share a few words about Tata, addressing the audience in Punjabi. The video, which quickly spread on social media, shows the singer expressing deep respect for the late businessman. “Ratan Tata has left us, and I feel it’s important to take a moment to honour him,” Diljit said. “He was a man who worked tirelessly, and whatever I’ve read or heard about him, he never spoke ill of anyone," he added.
Diljit’s tribute highlighted Tata’s commitment to hard work, integrity, and kindness. He continued, “He lived his life with purpose, always doing good for others. If there’s one lesson we can all take from him, it’s to work hard, stay positive, and live our lives to the fullest, helping others along the way.”
The singer also acknowledged Tata’s influence on many lives, saying, “This is how life should be. We can learn so much from the way he conducted himself.”
Diljit later shared the tribute on his Instagram story, posting a video from a fan page with the message, “RIP Ratan Tata,” expressing his personal sorrow over the loss of such a towering figure.
After completing his international shows, Diljit is set to return to India for the next leg of his tour, beginning in New Delhi on October 26.
Meanwhile, in Mumbai, a Garba and Dandiya night also saw a tribute to Ratan Tata, as the crowd paused their celebrations to honour his memory.
An X user, Fenil Kothari, shared a video of the event, where attendees lit up their phone flashlights while performers on stage sang songs in homage to the late industrialist. “One of the most memorable parts of the evening was paying tribute to Ratan Tata Sir, especially during Navratri. We hope his soul finds peace on this sacred occasion,” Kothari wrote.
Another video from Goregaon’s NESCO compound showed hundreds of people observing a moment of silence, pausing their Garba dance to remember the icon.
The public has been invited to pay their respects to the veteran industrialist at NCPA Lawns in Mumbai on Thursday, ahead of his final rites later in the day. Tata’s loss marks the end of an era for Indian industry, but his values and vision will continue to inspire generations.
