Mumbai, India – Farah Khan, the Bollywood choreographer-turned-filmmaker, has revealed that the earnings from her YouTube channel for an entire year were dedicated to paying off the debt of her cook, Dilip. Khan, known for directing blockbuster films like "Main Hoon Na" and "Om Shanti Om", has found unexpected success as a content creator on YouTube, where her cooking vlogs featuring Dilip have become a viral sensation.

In a recent interview with Soha Ali Khan on her YouTube channel, Farah discussed her journey into the digital world and how it has impacted Dilip's life. She explained that she started her YouTube channel with food-related content because her food reels often went viral on Instagram. She quickly realized that creating engaging content required significant preparation and a strong on-screen presence. That's when she decided to bring Dilip on camera.

Dilip's natural charm and their easygoing kitchen conversations resonated with audiences, leading to rapid growth for the channel. Farah mentioned that they received the YouTube Silver Button after their second video. The channel has now amassed around 2.5 million subscribers in just a year and a half.

Farah shared that Dilip's life has transformed since joining her YouTube channel. His income has increased substantially, and he has even starred in advertisements, including one with Shah Rukh Khan. Besides increase in earnings, Farah has been supporting Dilip's children's education, including funding his son's culinary diploma.

However, Farah also revealed that Dilip had been struggling with significant debt. "He had a lot of debt. I don't know how. One year has just gone in paying off that debt," she said. She decided to use her YouTube earnings to clear all of his dues, advising him against taking on further loans with interest. "One year has gone by just paying off that debt and telling him, 'You can't take loans on interest anymore because whatever I am giving you is going down a well'," she stated.

Now that Dilip is debt-free, he is building his own house. Farah is currently seeking support from brands to help him complete the house without incurring any financial burden. She hopes to provide him with a home "without any cost," ensuring he never has to worry about loans again.

Farah's YouTube channel has not only provided financial stability for Dilip and his family but has also given her a new platform to connect with audiences. She enjoys the freedom of creating her own content and inviting guests without external direction. Farah also mentioned that she has earned more from her YouTube vlogs in a single year than she did from her films. She remains committed to consistently posting content, with the only exception being the two weeks following her mother's passing.
