That business degree, he did put it to use. Dulquer is also the director of a Bangalore-based Maternity hospital and has a dental business chain in Chennai. He also worked in a car trading portal before joining the film industry.
#Marry soon
Dulquer got married to Amal Sufiya, an architect by profession in 2011. When asked why he married so early, he told Sify, "All the men in our family get married early and my mother was looking out for a suitable girl. She found Amaal Nizam an architect and I liked her."
#A Mammootty but not in name
Dulquer doesn't use Mammootty as his last name and the reason is his father. In an interview, Dulquer said, "I don’t look like him. I look like my mother, which has been a blessing. Plus my last name doesn’t have his name, and he did that when I was in school because he said he didn’t want me to get harassed."
#For the love of cars
Dulquer has a thing for luxury cars and has an envious collection which includes Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, BMW M3 and many more.
