"Gulaab, as she is like a Gulaab for me. I have been a huge fan of Deepika since Om Shanti Om, and I remember, back when I was working in Dubai, she was coming there for the premiere of Karthik Calling Karthik. I somehow managed to get tickets for the premiere, and I was standing on the sides of the red carpet, where I saw her for the first time in person. It was an Om Shanti Om moment for me," shared Dulquer.

During the live interview, the actor was also given the names of other actors, and he had to state whether he would give a gun or a gulaab to them. The actor also gave a gulaab to Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Allu Arjun. On the other hand, Dulquer gave a gun to Rajnikanth.

The huge fan following that Dulquer enjoys is known to all. During the same interview, the actor was questioned about ever experiencing any crazy fan moments until now. 

Dulquer answered in the affirmative and said, "I love all my fans; however, I always get anxious when I get followed by young fans on their bikes. It's very scary and not safe for them."
