In her column in Sunday Times of India on 9 July 2017, the writer and celebrity Shobha De commented on the death of the former tata finance ceo Dilip Pendse, who allegedly was sacked in 2001, after allegedly committing financial irregularities.

She commented that he may have made a wrong decision, resulting in losses to the company, and he may have become frustrated at how difficult it was to get any kind of justice. She commented that instead of working in a corporate, using his training and experience, Pendse was wasting his life trying to get justice.

She also commented that fighting the system or a powerful company is very lonely in India, no one will help the victim or person falsely accused , friends and close relatively will also desert the person if he or he is always complaining.
