Farah Khan's cook, Dilip, has become a viral sensation, often stealing the spotlight in her YouTube cooking vlogs. His unexpected fame has led to amusing interactions with paparazzi and even a commercial shoot with Shah Rukh Khan. However, a recent incident involving Dilip's "lungi" has left Farah Khan wondering what to do.
In Farah Khan's latest YouTube vlog, Dilip was seen sporting a Punjabi folk dance costume and performing Bhangra steps. While enthusiastically dancing, his lungi humorously fell open. Farah Khan, known for her quick wit, reacted with a mix of irritation and humor, playfully pushing him towards the car and exclaiming, "Luckily neeche pants pehne hain (Luckily he is wearing pants underneath)". She later told Chef Harpal that Dilip had been doing bhangra since morning and "Lungi khol ke aaya hai yeh (he opened the garment and came)".
This isn't the first time Dilip's antics have caught attention. He has become a familiar face in Farah's kitchen content, often seen preparing delicious dishes while she banters with him off-camera. His popularity has grown to the point where paparazzi inquire about him during Farah's public appearances. At Lakmé Fashion Week 2025, photographers were more interested in Dilip than Farah herself, prompting her to respond, "Arey, Dilip ko thodi lekar aaungi" (Why would I bring Dilip here?).
The bond between Farah and Dilip is evident in their playful interactions. In one instance, when photographers called Dilip "uncle," Farah jokingly corrected them, saying, "Aye, uncle kisko bola (Hey, who are you calling Uncle?)". This camaraderie has resonated with viewers, making Dilip a beloved figure in Farah's vlogs.
Dilip's journey to internet fame is quite serendipitous. Farah Khan revealed that she discovered him outside Ajay Devgn and Kajol's bungalow and hired him on the spot. Since then, he has not only become an integral part of her household but also a social media star. He even had the opportunity to shoot an advertisement with Shah Rukh Khan, a testament to his newfound popularity. Farah jokingly mentioned how Shah Rukh quipped, "Mera time dekh kya chal raha hai, main tere cook ke saath ad kar raha hoon (Look at what times I'm going through — I'm shooting with your cook)," to which she responded, "Mera time soch, tere ko chhod ke usko direct kar rahi hoon (Think about my time — I'm directing my cook instead of you)".
Farah Khan has also revealed that Dilip is compensated for his appearances in her YouTube videos, stating that he gets paid "a lot… more than everyone here put together". This highlights her appreciation for his contribution to her content and acknowledges his rising stardom.
While the "lungi" mishap may have initially caused Farah Khan some momentary consternation, it has undoubtedly added another chapter to Dilip's endearing persona. It remains to be seen what other surprises Dilip has in store, but one thing is certain: he will continue to entertain and amuse audiences with his antics. As for Farah Khan, she will likely continue to navigate Dilip's newfound fame with her signature wit and humor, perhaps occasionally wondering what he will do next.
