During a conversation with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Dulquer disclosed some of the peculiar interactions he's had with fans. When asked about unusual encounters, he shared, "An older woman, while taking pictures, has sneaked a peck on my cheek. They are not very appropriate, but they are sweet. But I am not even looking there, I am posing for the picture, and (suddenly there's a peck). Sometimes it catches you by surprise." These incidents were recounted while he was promoting his latest project, "Guns & Gulaabs."

Another disconcerting memory emerged from an event where a female fan took liberties and inappropriately grabbed his backside, causing him to freeze in disbelief. He recounted, "Yes, again an older lady, I don't know why… And it was very awkward and bizarre. She squeezed, and I was in pain. I don't think it was that kind of grab, I don't know what, and she was way older. I don't know what it meant, and I was on stage, and a lot of people were standing there, and I was like 'Aunty please come and stand here' ".

As he shared his experiences, Dulquer emphasised the discomfort and even physical pain he endured during such encounters. While his recent series "Guns & Gulaabs" is currently streaming on Netflix, fans can anticipate his upcoming film "King of Kotha," set to be released on August 24.
