In a burst of enthusiasm and humor, filmmaker Farah Khan found herself at the center of a lighthearted exchange at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. While she graced the fashion show, dressed in a striking pink top and blue pants, the paparazzi couldn’t resist asking about Dilip, her cook who has become quite the sensation. This ordinary query turned into a memorable moment when a paparazzo exclaimed, “Farah ji, Dilip kidhar hai (Where is Dilip)?” Farah’s candid and witty response, “Dilip ko thodi laungi idhar (Obviously I won’t bring him here),” sent the photographers into fits of laughter as she exited the stage.
The incident, shared by Bollywood Street Snap, quickly gained traction online. Fans appreciated Farah Khan’s quick wit, labeling her as a sweetheart. Comments poured in, suggesting that Dilip is now a bigger star than Farah herself. The request for Dilip’s presence on the ramp was voiced more than once, demonstrating how beloved his character has become.
Dilip’s newfound fame can be attributed to his regular appearances on Farah Khan’s vlog channel, coupled with his participation in “Laughter Chefs,” a show where Farah serves as a judge. His innocent and delightful reactions to Farah’s antics have endeared him to many internet users.
Alongside these lighthearted events, Farah Khan is surrounded by controversy, stemming from a criminal complaint lodged against her by Vikas Jayram Phatak, also known as Hindustani Bhau. The complaint, yet to result in a First Information Report by Mumbai Police, accuses Farah of calling Holi a festival for “chhapris” (uncultured) on a television show. Apparently, this comment offended the religious sentiments of some Hindus.
The inquiry into the complaint continues, according to Khar police. However, public opinion has displayed a shift following the release of videos showing unruly behavior during Holi. These videos seem to lend credibility to Farah Khan’s assessment, with many social media users agreeing with her point of view and expressing their support for her online.
Despite the ongoing investigation, Farah Khan’s humor and ability to engage with her audience remain unshaken. Her presence at the Lakme Fashion Week and her interactions with the paparazzi serve as a reminder of her charismatic personality. As discussions continue, both about her remarks and her influence in the entertainment industry, it is certain that Farah Khan will maintain her place in the limelight, balancing humor and controversies with aplomb.
