New Delhi: On Monday, several media reports claimed that the 86-year-old Tata Sons Group Chairman Ratan Tata was rushed to a hospital in the wee hours of the morning and admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) after his blood pressure dropped suddenly. However, denying the news, the industrialist said he was in “good spirits,” and rumours of his ill health were unfounded.
He said the visit was part of a routine check-up due to his age, and added: “Thank you for thinking of me.”
“I am aware of recent rumours circulating regarding my health and want to assure everyone that these claims are unfounded,” Tata wrote in a post on social media platform X.
“I am currently undergoing medical check-ups due to my age and related medical conditions.”
Further, the octogenarian also urged the media not to spread misinformation.
