His hotel business took a blow in 2010, when it was reported that Vikram‘s crown jewel, Dream Hotel in Manhattan was planned to undergo foreclosure if he did not pay a $99 million mortgage in 90 days. But even after these events, along with the unfavourable economic situation, he kept expanding his business, opening new hotels in New York City, Miami and overseas. In the same year he opened one of his most important assets, the Chatwal Hotel in the New York Theater Disctrict, a $100 million investment that helped his brand and net worth increase in value immensely.

Before the marriage, Vikram was considered one of the most eligible celebrity bachelors, and went back to being one after the 2011 divorce. He then became engaged to model Esther Cañadas in 2013, but broke up a month after that. There were rumours of Chatwal filing a lawsuit to get compensation for the $300,000 worth engagement ring, but no such lawsuit happened.
