Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan’s cook, Dilip, has become a celebrity in his own right since she featured him in her vlogs and cooking videos. The latest video on her YouTube channel featured Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, as they showed their beautiful house in Khandala. However, many on the internet were not impressed with Dilip's ‘overacting’ and ‘constant interruptions’ in the video and reacted in the comments.

At one point in the video, when Farah and Shabana sit down for a chat, Dilip comes in between and says, ‘Irshad, irshad!’ Farah jokingly tells him to go cook in the kitchen. Moments later, when Shabana begins to share how the huge trees inside the property are around 150 years old, Dilip interrupts again. He comes in and says, “Ma'am, apse bhi puraane hai (Farah ma'am, they are older than you too)!”

How the internet reacted

Farah revealed that she started her cooking vlogs while waiting to begin work on her next film. She launched her YouTube journey in 2024, and her cooking videos gradually gained popularity. Her banter with Dilip won hearts, turning him into an internet sensation. Since gaining fame, Dilip has featured in several advertisements with Farah and has also appeared alongside stars such as Shah Rukh Khan.
