Though struggling, Billu lives an uneventful life until Bollywood superstar Sahir Khan Shah Rukh Khan comes to the village for a film shoot.Billu has mentioned to his family that he knows Sahir from the past but has never elaborated how he knows the star. When his children talk about their fathers friendship with the star, word spreads throughout the village. Virtually overnight, Billu, who had previously been scorned by most due to his lowly state, becomes the center of attention. People who had spurned him only the week before now call him a close friend so that he will introduce them to Sahir. Billu refuses and downplays the friendship. 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. When Billu consistently fails to introduce the people of the village to Sahir, his situation changes once again. He is accused of lying about his friendship and everyone including his wife and children begin to doubt his character and integrity. Rather than defend himself, Billu remains quiet about the nature of his and Sahirs friendship. ........
