Bollywood’s famous choreographer and film director Farah Khan is known for her outspoken style and wit. Farah Khan’s YouTube vlogs have created a huge stir on social media in recent times, and her personal cook ‘Dilip’ has emerged as the biggest star of these vlogs. The audience likes Dilip’s simplicity, his heated exchanges with Farah and his cooking videos. Recently, Farah Khan participated as a guest in the podcast of famous comedian and podcaster Cyrus Broacha, where the atmosphere became very humorous as soon as Dilip was mentioned during the conversation. As soon as Cyrus Broacha jokingly described Dilip’s excessive appearance in vlogs and his behavior as ‘annoying’, Farah Khan without any delay gave such a reply to Cyrus which won everyone’s heart on the internet.
During the podcast, Cyrus Broacha told Farah that he often watches her videos, but her cook Dilip has now started behaving like a celebrity and sometimes seems quite irritating. To this, Farah Khan laughed in her usual sarcastic style and said, “If you find Dilip so annoying, then I will replace him with you! You come to my house and start cooking for me.” Cyrus Broacha could not stop laughing after hearing this unexpected answer from Farah. Farah further laughed and said that Dilip is no longer just a cook, but has become a social media sensation whom people want to see on screen as much as him. Farah made it clear that no matter how much they fight behind the camera, the responsibility of running the house and providing delicious food rests on Dilip’s shoulders only.
The specialty of Farah Khan’s vlogs is that whenever a big Bollywood star reaches Farah’s house for a feast, her cook Dilip becomes the center of attraction. Be it Chunky Pandey, Malaika Arora, Karan Johar or Rajkummar Rao, Dilip openly expresses his opinion even in front of big stars without any hesitation. Dilip’s recipes—like Yakhni Pulao, roast chicken and traditional desi dishes—garner millions of views on YouTube. On many occasions, Farah is seen jokingly scolding Dilip that he has now become a star and has started throwing tantrums, but the audience is a fan of this homely and unfiltered bonding. This is the reason that even when Cyrus teased, Farah laughed and defended Dilip and made it clear that no one can take Dilip’s place, except Cyrus himself handles the rolling pin and the pan.
Cyrus Broacha and Farah Khan’s friendship goes back to the days of MTV and Channel V in the 90s. Both the celebrities are known to talk in front of the camera without any artificiality. In the podcast, both of them laughed and joked about the current parties of Bollywood, strange tantrums of stars, changing priorities with increasing age and today’s social media culture. Cyrus quipped that in today’s times even chefs have started needing PR agencies, to which Farah agreed and said that now the guests coming to her house first ask what Dilip is making today, meeting Farah becomes an afterthought. This spontaneous and humorous conversation between the two legends is now being rapidly shared as viral clips on many social media platforms.
This digital avatar of Farah Khan proves that the audience now prefers to see the real, informal life of stars rather than the glamorized and artificial world of Bollywood. The home kitchen, daily interaction with servants and assistants and candid family conversations have made Farah’s YouTube channel extremely popular among the digital audience. Farah’s witty offer to replace cook Dilip not only reflects her sense of humour, but also shows how much importance she gives to the people on her team and her easy-going style has made her a favorite of the audience even in today’s digital era.
