I Don’t Want a Woman with a Shopping List - Rajiv Ruparelia’s Final Words Before Tragic Death

Ugandans are mourning the sudden death of Rajiv Ruparelia, managing director of the Ruparelia Group, who passed away yesterday following a tragic motor accident. The loss of one of Uganda’s most influential business figures has sent shockwaves across the country.
Just before his untimely passing, Rajiv sparked widespread conversation after sharing deeply personal views about the kind of woman he considered ideal. His remarks quickly gained attention on social media and in the press for their bold, unapologetic tone.
“An active one with something to keep her occupied. I do not want one who will give me a shopping list of requirements, It should be a modern woman who does not just sit back and wait for everything to be delivered on a silver plate.” he said.
Many saw this as an extension of the values he upheld while steering the multi-sectoral Ruparelia Group, which spans real estate, banking, education, and hospitality.
