LEADING industrialist Lord Swraj Paul’s wife Lady Aruna Paul passed away peacefully at her home in London on Tuesday night (3). She was 86.

She was full of life and always trying to uplift people around her, said a close family member, confirming the news of her death.

Lady Paul is survived by her husband and three children - two sons Akash and Ambar and daughter Anjli.

Swraj and Aruna Paul, who were married for over 65 years, were a familiar presence together at Indian diaspora events in London.

They celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary in December 2016, when the Queen sent her best wishes to mark the milestone.

Lord Paul, 91, is the founder of UK-based Caparo Group of industries, with operations in the US, India, Canada and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
