What did Ambani say?
The statement issued by Ambani not only shows how much respect he had for Ratan Tata, but also shows how much he loved him as a friend. ‘On a personal level, Ratan Tata’s demise is very sad for me. I have lost my friend.
Every conversation between us not only made me inspired and energetic but also increased my respect for his gentlemanly personality and human values.
‘With the demise of Ratan Tata, India has lost its most distinguished and compassionate son. Mr. Tata took India to the world and brought the best of the world to the country. He institutionalized the Tata family and transformed it into an international enterprise. Due to this, the Tata Group was seen growing by more than 70 times since he assumed the post of Chairman in 1991.
‘On behalf of Reliance and Neeta and her family, I express my condolences to the bereaved members of the Tata family and the entire Tata Group. Ratan, you will always be in my heart.
Memories of Nadal and Federer came to mind
A great example of such affection and respect towards the opponent was also seen when Rafael Nadal started crying emotionally on the retirement of Roger Federer. Talking about this moment later, Nadal had said, ‘I became emotional because one of the most elegant players of this game (Federer) had said goodbye to the tour. Secondly, when he left, a part of my life also went with him.
Let us tell you that Nadal himself admitted that he considered Federer to be his biggest challenge and he always kept in his mind that he just had to defeat Roger. Yet he never felt bitterness towards the tennis court legend. On the contrary, respect only increased with the passage of time.
