The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Some narratives paint Bollywood stars as either aloof or fake-humble. Vikram Kochhar's honest admission, that he hasn't met Shah Rukh since the film and only messages via a manager, is refreshingly realistic, not a sign of coldness but respect for boundaries. The real test of Khan's humility isn't Kochhar's praise now; it is whether he will remember him when they next cross paths at an industry event.
