He was about to retire by the end of April this year. He was suffering from kidney ailment for the last several years and was under dialysis. When we went for dialysis to Riddi Vinayaka hospital, he got infected by the novel coronavirus.

Restaurateur and patron Gauri Devidayal announced his death on her social media page on April 15. During his service in the restaurant, he served all the big celebs to industrialists. He was known by most of them.

The virus takes away another gem. Devastated to hear about the passing away of Ronald from Wasabi. He was such a warm, gentle person, an absolute star who made that place special. Jay and I had our first date at Wasabi 12 years ago, and he looked after us. And ever since we opened The Table, we always compared notes on how business was going. He was due to retire this year and we always told him Wasabi would not be the same without him. Rest in peace, my friend and thank you for taking care of us all these years. . I’m trying to find out if there is a way we can help his family out in this troubled time. Will keep you posted. . #stayhomestaysafe #neverforget
