Rather than defend himself, Billu remains quiet about the nature of his and Sahir's friendship. He is accused of lying about his friendship and everyone вЂ“ including his wife and children вЂ“ begins to doubt his character and integrity. When Billu consistently fails to introduce the people of the village to Sahir, his situation changes once again. Even so, the powerful businessman Sahukaar Daamchand ( Om Puri) demands to see Sahir and offers Billu expensive gifts in order to gain such a meeting.

Billu refuses and downplays the friendship. People who had spurned him only the week before now call him a close friend so that he will introduce them to Sahir. Virtually overnight, Billu, who had previously been scorned by most due to his lowly state, becomes the center of attention. When his children talk about their father's friendship with the star, word spreads throughout the village. Billu lives an uneventful life until Bollywood superstar Sahir Khan ( Shah Rukh Khan) comes to the village for a film shoot.Д«illu has mentioned to his family that he knows Sahir from the past but has never elaborated how he knows the star. He also spends time with his close friends Budbudiya ( Rajpal Yadav) and Naubat Chacha ( Asrani). Billu ( Irrfan Khan) is a poor barber who lives with his wife Bindiya ( Lara Dutta) and their two children, Gunja (Mitali Mayekar) and Ronak (Pratik Dalvi) in the village of Budbuda.
