Tattoo artist Mahesh Chavan, known as 'themustachetattoo' on Instagram, recently shared a heartfelt video of a client who came to get a tattoo of Ratan Tata on his chest. In the video, the man recounted a heart-touching story about why he considers the industrialist a real-life God. He revealed that a few years ago when his friend was suffering from cancer, they tried to get treatment at a big hospital. However, the high cost made it impossible for his friend to continue. This is when they learnt about Tata Trusts, which made a significant impact by providing his friend with free medical treatment.
In the clip, the man expressed his deep admiration for the countless lives saved by the Tata Trusts and how his personal experience inspired him to follow Ratan Tata's principles. He also revealed that he views the industrialist as a "real-life God" and sees the tattoo as a small token of appreciation for Mr Tata's invaluable contributions.
Sharing the video on Instagram, Mr Chavan wrote, "India has lost a legend @ratantata".
