Farah Khan's latest vlog featuring her cook Dilip has taken the internet by storm, not just for its peek into the glamorous world of YouTube gamers, but also for an unscripted and hilarious moment involving a misheard question and a blunt assessment of fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya. The video, shot at the sprawling 15,000 sq ft facility of the S8UL Gamers' collective in Navi Mumbai, showcases the surprising wealth and lifestyle of India's top gamers, leaving both Farah and Dilip visibly stunned.
The vlog starts with Farah and Dilip arriving at the S8UL Gamers' headquarters, greeted by a garage filled with luxury cars and bikes. Farah jokingly remarks, "These gamers are making more money than us!" setting the tone for the rest of the video. The S8UL Gamers collective, comprising several professional streamers, operates from under one roof. Among them is Payal Gaming, who runs India's biggest gaming channel with 4.3 million subscribers, capturing Dilip's attention. Dilip, known for his unfiltered persona, jokingly flirts with Payal, expressing his desire to become a gamer and asking about her earnings. Farah, on the other hand, is amazed by a walk-in closet filled with sneakers, exclaiming, "I'm earning brownie points from my son by doing this. How much money are you people making?"
However, the highlight of the vlog arrives during a cooking segment where Farah and Dilip participate in a 10-minute noodle-making competition. As part of a challenge, Dilip is asked the full form of BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India). Mishearing the question, Dilip confidently replies, "Vijay Mallya toh chor hai!" (Vijay Mallya is a thief!). The unexpected response leaves everyone in shock, including Farah, who bursts into laughter and walks out of the kitchen. The unscripted moment quickly went viral, with fans praising Dilip's candidness and Farah's reaction.
The incident has not only added to Dilip's popularity but also reignited discussions about Vijay Mallya, the former Kingfisher Airlines owner who has been a fugitive in the UK since 2016, facing charges of fraud and money laundering. Mallya has recently claimed that he is willing to return to India if assured of a fair trial, stating that the government has recovered more than double the debt owed by him. Several cases are still pending against Mallya, including a Rs 900 crore loan default case involving IDBI Bank and a Rs 180 crore loan default case involving Indian Overseas Bank. He has also been charged by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for allegedly diverting funds from Kingfisher Airlines.
Meanwhile, Dilip's popularity continues to rise, with his appearances on Farah's vlogs making him a household name. Known for his wit and humor, Dilip has become a favorite among viewers, with many praising his unfiltered and relatable personality. Farah's YouTube channel, which features Dilip, has gained over 1.5 million subscribers, showcasing the cook's widespread appeal. In a previous vlog, Farah hinted at Dilip's high salary, stating that it would tempt others to quit their jobs. Recently, Farah took Dilip on his first international flight, further highlighting their close bond and Dilip's growing celebrity status.
