Farah Khan's cook Dilip owns a three storey building with a private pool in Bihar; filmmaker says, ‘Work has stopped as they are awaiting marble for flooring'
Noticing the absence of an air conditioner in the kitchen, Farah jokingly remarked, 'Bhai Dilip, inke kitchen mein AC nahi hai!' Huma responded, 'Kyunki hum gareeb hai (because we are poor).'
To this, Dilip chimed in, 'No, ma'am and I are gareeb,' prompting Saqib to jump in playfully, 'Sabse zyada ameer toh aap hi ho (You are the richest). I have heard you've built a three-storey building with a private pool in your village!' Dilip blushed, clearly shy about the sudden attention.
Huma was taken aback, exclaiming, 'Wait—three storeys and a pool? In the village?'
Farah confirmed with a smile, 'Yes, the construction is on hold because they are waiting for marble for the flooring!'

Adding to the admiration, Huma Qureshi's mother, Ameena, praised Dilip further: 'I'm so happy he is educating all his children, and that too in an English medium school. I was really impressed when I met them.'
Farah added, 'Yes, his kids go to a great school,' and asked Dilip, 'They've started speaking English, right?' To which he modestly replied, 'Yes, a little.' Farah teased, 'Send them to me, I' will teach them!'
Saqib Saleem affectionately pulled Dilip's cheeks and declared, 'You're such a cutie!'
Dilip has become something of a celebrity in his own right. Originally from Bihar, he has been documenting the construction of his house in his hometown through Farah's vlogs, many of which feature Farah's support and tongue-in-cheek commentary.
Dilip's has also featured in an ad for Myntra with Shah Rukh Khan and is now also the face of Vim dishwashing soap alongside Farah Khan.

Netflix cancels Arnold Schwarzenegger's Fubar following underwhelming Season 2 viewership despite star power
Arnold Schwarzenegger's spy action series 'Fubar' will not be returning for a third season on Netflix, the streamer confirmed, a little over a month after Season 2 debuted on June 12. The decision comes after what was described as a surprisingly soft return for the show. Though the first season launched with significant buzz in May 2023—buoyed by Schwarzenegger's global popularity—its second season failed to capture similar momentum. Monica Barbaro, who co-stars as Schwarzenegger's on-screen daughter Emma and became an Oscar nominee in between seasons for 'A Complete Unknown', also returned for Season 2. Season 2, released more than two years after Season 1, managed only a brief appearance in Netflix's English-language Top 10. During its launch weekend, the show earned 2.2 million views, a steep drop from the 11 million views that greeted its premiere season. It peaked at #7 in its first full week with 3.3 million views and barely held onto the #10 spot in Week 3 with 1.8 million, before vanishing from the rankings. The story of 'Fubar' centres on CIA operative Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) and his daughter Emma (Barbaro), who each lead double lives while unknowingly working for the same agency. Luke Brunner and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, with neither of them knowing that the other is a CIA operative.' The cancellation places 'Fubar' among a short list of Netflix originals dropped in 2025, including 'The Recruit', 'Pulse', and 'The Residence'. Nevertheless, the platform has renewed around 20 scripted series this year alone, with recent greenlights for 'Untamed' Season 2, 'Tires' Season 3, 'Ransom Canyon' Season 2, and 'Virgin River' Season 8.

BTS faces backlash over alleged Michael Jackson collaboration: ‘Literally no one wants this'
BTS may be about to enter their most controversial decade to date. According to reports, the South Korean supergroup is working on a top-secret tribute project as they get ready for their reunion: recording an unreleased song that was originally written for Michael Jackson . The song was recorded during Jackson's 2006 stay in Ireland at the Grouse Lodge studio, where he worked on an unfinished album. Paddy Dunning, the owner of the studio, recently disclosed that BTS came to re-record one of those long-lost songs there last year. "The sessions started last year, and we have already had the Korean boy band BTS over with us in Grouse Lodge, recording one of the songs," Dunning said in an interview with The Irish Sun. "There are about ten more, written especially for Michael by the collaborators he worked with in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, who have signed up for the project." In addition to the music, Dunning revealed that a documentary about Jackson's contented life in Ireland with his kids is currently in development. 'Michael's estate told me to plough ahead with this because, like me, they see it as a tribute to Michael. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cesar Millan Reveals What Honey Does to Your Aging Dog Experts In Pet Health Learn More Undo And for the documentary, we're going to get everyone's memories of working with Michael in Ireland," he continued. During a trip to the United States, the owner even had the opportunity to meet Prince, Jackson's oldest son. Prince allegedly stated that he, Paris, and Blanket hope to visit the studio again in the future as they discussed the family's stay at Grouse Lodge. Netizens are not overjoyed Although the partnership is being marketed as a tribute, online responses seem to indicate otherwise. While many fans are excited, many others are suspicious, if not outright annoyed. One user on X questioned, "Have Michael Jackson's family and estate approved of this?" Another user commented, "I don't have anything against them, but their style/sound has nothing in common with MJ... This song will NOT be good.' "They're so desperate, oh my goodness," one fan commented, while another added, "If anyone had the honor of this, it should have been Gaga. " One user questioned, "Who asked for this, no shade?" while another said bluntly, "They're not even close to Michael Jackson's level, mind you… so that's a lot of nerve.' Some were even more severe. One person said, "This is so disrespectful; we need to cancel BTS now." Another said, 'They're going to ruin it.' 'Literally no one wants this. K-pop, stop biting off of other artists challenge!', according to another comment. Another said, 'They're doing anything for a comeback clearly.' "Who are they to even touch Michael Jackson's music?" said another. It's undeniable that BTS has always admired Jackson, even in spite of the criticism. In many respects, their English hit song Dynamite was a visual and vocal tribute to the King of Pop. In addition, the group has consistently stated that he is an inspiration to them, even receiving an honorary mention in his documentary Thriller 40 (2023). Time (and streaming numbers) will tell if this new project turns out to be a musical misstep or a heartfelt tribute, but it might just be an extension of that same respect.

Farah Khan jokes the only time she wanted to do a casting couch was with Boman Irani: ‘Don't tell Shirish I'm flirting with him'
Farah Khan 's recent vlog is a riot of humour, nostalgia, and candid moments as she paid a visit to long-time friend and actor Boman Irani 's home. Accompanied by her beloved cook Dilip , Farah brought along her signature wit and playful charm—along with a few cheeky jabs that had both Boman and his wife Zenobia laughing heartily. Before stepping into Irani's home, the Main Hoon Na director jokingly warned Dilip, 'Don't tell Shirish [Kunder, her husband] if I flirt with Boman.' The 60-year-old filmmaker didn't hold back as the flirtatious banter flowed effortlessly between her and the Happy New Year actor. Dilip, adorably clueless, asked, 'What is flirting?' Farah, ever the entertainer, explained, 'Flirting means nain mataka, or if I hug Boman sir, or if I sit next to him.' The cook then mock-threatened to spill the beans to Shirish, prompting a playful scolding from Farah. 'Only casting couch I wanted to do was with Boman' In a moment that had everyone in splits, Farah made a hilarious revelation. 'The only time I wanted to do a casting couch for my movie was with Boman. But he got the role just like that, didn't even sit on the couch,' she quipped, referring to casting him in her directorial debut Main Hoon Na. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Colombia: New Senior Apartments (Prices May Surprise You) Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo She later asked Dilip if he even knew what a casting couch was. When he replied he didn't, Farah breathed a sigh of relief and said, 'You please go to the kitchen now.' Zenobia's unbothered reaction The playful banter between Farah and Boman continued right in front of Zenobia, Boman's wife. The actor turned to her, amused, and asked, 'How she laughs at all this?' Farah jumped in with the perfect punchline: 'Because she knows that nobody believes that we are having an affair.' Farah also shared a funny anecdote from the past—how she once got all dressed up thinking she was attending Boman's birthday party, only to realise she had arrived a day early. The two laughed heartily as they recalled the mix-up, before heading to the kitchen for some joint cooking fun. As the duo got busy in the kitchen, Boman jokingly tried to excuse himself: 'This means it is my time to get out of the kitchen.' Farah, of course, had other plans. 'No sir, you need to be here for the cooking. Chutney kaun lagayega apne haatho se?' she teased. Eventually, Boman called for Dilip's assistance, unable to resist the camaraderie.

'Dare you tell anything to Shirish. I will have your salary reduced,' she warned, as Dilip flashed a knowing smile. In another heartwarming moment, Zenobia praised Farah for her entertaining vlogs with Dilip, cementing what was clearly an afternoon full of laughter, memories, and mischief.
