New Delhi: Renowned chef and actor Ranveer Brar took to Instagram to honor the legacy of Ratan Tata, the esteemed chairman emeritus of the Tata Group, who passed away on October 9, 2024. In a heartfelt post, Brar recounted his first meeting with Tata, emphasizing the profound impact of the industrialist's humble demeanor.
"When I think of Shri Ratan Tata, in my first meeting with him, what immediately struck me was his simple demeanor," Brar shared. He elaborated on the lessons he learned from Tata, particularly the importance of leading a simple life. "He taught me how powerful it can be to live simply. I remember him to be non-fussy and extremely easy to talk to. A man with such achievements could make you feel like you are the only person in the whole room he wants to speak to."
Brar also reminisced about Tata’s modest food preferences, revealing that the industrialist’s ideal breakfast was a croissant paired with a glass of orange juice. "I got to make this for him several times when I was a junior sous chef at Taj many years ago," he recalled fondly.
Expressing gratitude for his beginnings at the Taj Group, Brar stated, "I'm very proud that I started my journey with the Taj group of hotels because that's where my core values have been shaped. Shri Tata's legacy will forever be etched in my heart."
