“I am aware of recent rumours circulating regarding my health and want to assure everyone that these claims are unfounded. I am currently undergoing medical check-ups due to my age and related medical conditions. There is no cause for concern. I remain in good spirits and request that the public and media refrain from spreading misinformation,” Tata said on Monday.
However, despite these reassurances, his condition worsened on Wednesday, October 9 and he was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital, the reports said.
