Farah Khan's YouTube kitchen series has already won fans over with its humour, celebrity guests, and mouth-watering recipes. However, the star of the show is her cook Dilip, a simple man from Bihar, with a sweet smile on his face. In one of the recent episodes, while at Shalin Bhanot's house, Farah Khan shared an update about Dilip's personal life that will melt your heart.
Farah Khan's latest gesture is truly tugging at heartstrings. She shared that she enrolled her cook Dilip's children in an English-medium school and even sponsored a culinary diploma for one of them. Her reason was simple yet powerful—she didn't want them to grow up working in someone else's kitchen. She also added that since Dilip has fed so many people, it's now his Karma that will feed him. The gesture left viewers deeply moved, applauding her for using her platform and success to uplift those around her.
The internet is showering Farah Khan with love and admiration after her touching gesture for her cook, Dilip, and his family. One user praised her big-hearted decision to enrol all three of Dilip's children in an English-medium school and sponsor a culinary diploma for one of them, calling it a proud and heartwarming move. Another lauded Farah for helping someone else's children build a future, calling it a 'mind-blowing' act of generosity. A viewer highlighted their favourite moment from the recent vlog—when Dilip cheerfully reacted to receiving a new French door refrigerator, joking about keeping his clothes in it. Many expressed deep respect for Farah, not only for empowering Dilip's children through education and skill-building but also for the simple, dignified gesture of sharing a meal with him at the same table.Dilip, who hails from Madhubani in Bihar, has become much more than just the man behind the meals in Farah's vlogs. Over the years, he has emerged as a fan favourite, known for his sharp wit, quiet confidence, and impressive cooking skills. A father of three, Dilip has been married since 2003 and has worked with Farah long enough to become a trusted part of her household—and now, her digital fame.
Farah and Dilip's camaraderie has lit up screens with a string of high-profile guests, including Kajol, Raveena Tandon, Vijay Varma, Pooja Bedi, and even Sanjeev Kapoor. But behind the scenes, Dilip's own story is nothing short of fascinating. Despite his low-key presence, he owns a six-bedroom, three-storey bungalow in Bihar, complete with agricultural land, cattle, and even a private lake.
