New Delhi: Days after the passing of business tycoon Ratan Tata, his close aide Shantanu Naidu shared an emotional post, expressing gratitude to the policemen who lifted his spirits and offered ‘bear hugs’.

 Shantanu wrote to his LinkedIn profile, “Finally getting a chance to sit down and feel things. Still coming to terms with the fact that I will never see him smile again, or get to make him smile.”

 “Over the last 3 days, strangers from across the country have sent messages full of so much care, as if you and I are family for years. Every time I thought grief would swallow, there would be a message or a gesture from one of you that would bolster me a little bit", he added. 

Naidu also expressed his gratitude towards Mumbai police and thanked them for their support and love, “These generous Mumbai police officers were kind enough to share bear hugs that held the comfort of the whole city in it. It felt like a parting gift. Thank you, I mean it. 🤍”

On the day of Ratan Tata’s demise, his closest aide, Naidu shared an emotional and moving post that read, “The hole that this friendship has now left with me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to fill. Grief is the price to pay for love. Goodbye, my dear lighthouse.”
