Vikram Kochhar, who played Buggu in *Dunki*, says he hasn't met Shah Rukh Khan in person since the film wrapped in 2023. Speaking on the Galatta India podcast, Kochhar said he sends occasional birthday wishes through Khan's manager but finds it difficult to approach the superstar given his schedule. 'I also want to know more about him. It's a little difficult,' he said. Kochhar praised Khan as a gem who never belittles anyone, contrasting his humility with younger actors who develop arrogance after just a few years. He added that even being remembered by such a busy star feels like a blessing. Kochhar also said he hasn't visited Mannat because he does not want to make an extra effort.
