Ok this is not something i recommend doing, but I’ve have been there when it just has to happen.

class ReferrerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Emp
        fields = ('full_name','mobile','email')


class EnquirySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Enquiry
        fields = ('name','mobile','email','products',)


# As the fields doesn't already exist you can 'copy' them into the serializer

EnquirySerializer.base_fields["full_name"] = ReferrerSerializer().fields["full_name"]            


# Then in the view we can create another model instance.
# you should use the Serializer or a Form class and not save the data directly to a Emp instance here but i left that out for clarity.

class SomeViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    model = Enquiry

    # post() should only handle new/create calls, but if you want it more clear you can override create() instead.
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        self.emp_data = {}
        self.emp_data["full_name"] = self.request.DATA.pop("full_name")
        return super(SomeViewSet, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs)

    def pre_save(self, obj):
       emp = Emp.objects.create(**self.emp_data)
       obj.referred_by_emp = emp
       return obj
