Farah Khan clarifies her comment

Farah recently launched a new show on her YouTube channel titled Aunty Kisko Bola?, where women showcase their talents. The judges, alongside Farah, keep changing each episode. For a recent shoot, she was joined by Munawar Faruqui and Ashish Chanchlani. After the shoot, the trio posed for the paparazzi. As Dilip entered the frame, the photographers were heard saying, “The real star has come.” Dilip then tried to squeeze into the frame with them. At that moment, Farah was heard saying, “Beechmein nahi… zyada udo mat(Don’t come in the middle… don’t fly too high)."

About Farah Khan and Dilip's bond

Farah began her cooking vlogs in 2024 with Dilip. In the series, she visits different celebrities’ homes, cooks a dish with them in their kitchens, and engages in fun conversations. Over time, the vlogs became popular because of Farah and Dilip’s humorous banter, which turned Dilip into a social media star.

Since then, Dilip has featured in several advertisements with Farah. He appeared in a Myntra commercial with Shah Rukh Khan and Kiara Advani, and in a Flipkart campaign starring Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, and others. Recently, both Farah and Dilip were seen on the set of Pati Patni Aur Panga during Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani’s wedding episode. There, Dilip enjoyed star treatment as he even got his own vanity van.

Farah has also taken Dilip on international trips as part of their travel vlogs. The duo visited the Maldives, where they explored the scenic destination and even learnt to cook a local traditional dish. Fans have often praised Farah for treating Dilip like a family member.
