Although many people call her Bunda Dorce, she never forces it. This post also received a lot of support from netizens.

"I'm a simple person. If you want to call me father, it's okay. Father Dorce, Uncle Dorce, Mother Dorce, it's okay. Sorry, I never tell people to call me Bunda. Whether you want to call me Ses, or anything else, it doesn't matter. What's the meaning of a name anyway," wrote Dorce on the @dg_kcp account.

2. At Home

Now Dorce is busy spending time with her children and grandchildren. During the pandemic, Dorce spends more time at home and refuses many shooting offers because of the fear of contracting the coronavirus.

This veteran artist, who caused a stir by becoming Raffi Ahmad's driver, admits not being afraid of running out of money despite rejecting shooting offers. Because she prioritizes health over work.
