Sharing on his Instagram post, Newyork-based Michelin-Starred Indian chef Suvir Saran who is among one of Bhatia’s close friends who went to school together at Modern School Vasant Vihar shared, “What a man Ankur was. What a wonderful friend. What a visionary mind and businessman. What a doting husband. What a loving father. Shocking, the news of his sudden passing. Horrid at best.”
Remembering him on the sudden demise, Chef Nishant Choubey who worked very closely with Bhatia by being the chef at his hotel few years ago added, “I have worked with Mr. Bhatia for more than 8 years, he was a visionary and very energetic, he always welcomed new ideas and always believed to invest in the team!! Every time we interacted it was for a reason. As much as he was flamboyant there is a humour factor that was inherent. I miss him forever and I am deeply hurt with the demise.”
