Chirag Gupta is an Indian-American friend of Greg Heffley. He appears in every book, excluding the fourth one, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days.
Overview
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Chirag is a good friend of Greg. According to Greg, he is just as small as he is. He makes a cameo in the first book during his departure party. In Rodrick Rules, it's a bigger appearance. Although he was supposed to move to California after the events of the first book, his parents changed their minds, and Chirag stayed in Greg's neighborhood. Greg thought it would be funny to pull a prank on him before welcoming him back for real. Although the joke starts small, it soon gets to Chirag's attention, and Chirag reports the joke to Vice Principal Roy. However, this failed, as Vice Principal Roy could not get the identity of the person who reported Greg correctly. Chirag later reported this situation to his dad. Greg was forced to go to his house to apologize; Chirag forgives him and they go back to being friends.
The Last Straw
In The Last Straw, his role has been diminished. He only appears in one scene on April Fools' Day where Greg tries to repeat the "Invisible Chirag" joke by tricking him into thinking he is losing his hearing; this failed.
The Ugly Truth
He is briefly seen telling Greg that he doesn't have a maid. He was invited to a party with Rowley later on in the book, but was solely there to be abused by the older kids as a servant as Greg described.
Appearance
Chirag is the same age as Greg; he's also in the same grade with him, but is much shorter than him. Like a lot of people in the book, his nose is extremely long and he has short and stubby hair. His immense ears are are circular in shape along with his beady eyes.
In the movie, Chirag has a heavy Indian appearance. He isn't that short as he is in the book, has short, rounded hair instead of stubby hair, and noticeably large teeth.
