Meanwhile, Anupam Kher, in his extensive eulogy for Hemendra Bhatia wrote: “Bhatia Saab the great: I met Hemendra Bhatia in September 1979 at Bhartendu Natya Academy in Lucknow. It was my first job as a teacher. We both were part of the faculty under Raj Bisaria Ji. Even though I was 24 he decided to call me Kher Saab. We have been friends since then. Later when I established Actor Prepares. I asked him to help me design the school. He became the first and the only dean of our acting school. We did plays together. And remained friends. He was my confidant! He was brilliant, little shy, very giving, warm, passionate, short tempered, large hearted, amazing at his craft, wonderful storyteller, emotional, an eternal optimist and many more things. He went to a better world. But too soon. I will miss you Bhatia Saab and our conversations over a cup of coffee. Om Shanti.”
