Farah Khan's cook Dilip has a surprising link to Ajay Devgn's family? Filmmaker reveals how she found him
In a humorous twist, Dilip dressed up in a police uniform, transforming into Singham—a nod to Ajay Devgn's iconic role. He introduced himself as a big fan of Ajay. While he was preparing Shahi Paneer for the guests, Farah entered the kitchen with Ajay and Mrunal to check on the cooking progress. Dilip was visibly starstruck upon seeing Ajay.
Dilip then shared a nostalgic moment with Ajay, saying, "Aapki mummy mujhe Son of Sardaar ki ticket di. Mummy ke saath achhi jaan-pehchaan thi. Mera chhota bhai kaam karta tha, Bholaa (Your mother gave me a ticket to Son of Sardaar. I had a good connection with your mother. My younger brother used to work there, his name was Bholaa)." Farah chimed in with a playful remark about Ajay's making a film, Bholaa, saying she would also make a film about Dilip someday.
How Farah Khan met Dilip
She then recalled an interesting anecdote about how she discovered Dilip, "You know how I found him? Oh my God! I have to tell you this story. He was outside your house. How could I forget this? Yeh aapke bungalow ke bahar ghoom raha tha (He was loitering around your bungalow). This was about 12–13 years ago."
Farah began her cooking vlogs with Dilip in 2024. Blending her signature wit and humour with Dilip's lively personality, the vlogs quickly became a hit on social media. In these episodes, Farah and Dilip visit celebrity homes—including Raveena Tandon, Sania Mirza, Malaika Arora, and Himesh Reshammiya—where they cook simple, homely dishes while engaging in fun banter and candid conversations.

Dhadak 2 Day 5 India Box Office: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's movie fails to entice audiences; Adds Rs 1.50 crore on Discount Tuesday
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-led Dhadak 2, couldn't gain much traction despite discounted ticket fares on Tuesday. The romantic drama revolving around caste discrimination is heading for a disastrous end. Dhadak 2 adds Rs 1.50 crore on Day 5, cume approaches Rs 14 crore Opened with Rs 3.50 crore on Day 1, Dhadak 2 saw some growth on its second day where it collected Rs 3.75 crore. Further, it witnessed a nominal jump and collected Rs 4 crore on Sunday, wrapping the opening weekend at Rs 11 crore. However, the movie fell flat on the weekdays. It collected just Rs 1.25 crore on its first Monday, dropping by 64% over the opening day. The Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri movie couldn't even see the much-needed jump on Tuesday despite the blockbuster pricing. As per estimates, Dhadak 2 has netted another Rs 1.50 crore on Day 5, taking the total cume to Rs 14 crore net at the Indian box office. Day-wise box office collections of Dhadak 2 are as follows: Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the romantic drama met with majorly positive reception- however it didn't translate into the footfalls. One of the key reasons behind its low box office performance is dull marketing and promotional strategy. The remake factor had also worked against the movie. Moreover, the movie faced tough completions from Mahavatar Narsimha, Saiyaara, and Son Of Sardaar 2. A better marketing strategy and strong promotional assets would have benefitted the movie in true sense. Dhadak 2 in cinemas Dhadak 2 is playing in cinemas. You can book your tickets from the online ticket-booking websites or grab them from the counter itself. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Mrunal Thakur opens up about her strong belief in evil eye amid dating rumours with Dhanush: 'Bohot nazar lagti hai'
Fresh off the success of Son of Sardaar 2 alongside Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur is in a celebratory mood, but she's keeping her cards close to her chest. In a recent interview, the actress revealed she's manifesting big things for her career, but avoids speaking about them aloud, thanks to her strong belief in the concept of 'nazar' (evil eye). 'There are a lot of things I still need to do with my career, a lot of boxes I haven't checked,' she shared with Instant Bollywood, but admitted she won't discuss them openly. Mrunal believes that revealing too much too soon can bring bad luck. 'I will talk about those things once I actually do them, because I don't want to jinx it... bohot nazar lagti hai,' she added. 'You should control how much you tell the world' Mrunal went on to explain that she maintains strong personal boundaries, especially when it comes to navigating fame and fan expectations. Rather than announce her upcoming projects or constantly share updates, she prefers to stay silent until things are finalised. 'One should think before speaking about oneself,' she noted, adding that it's important to control how much of your life is public. She observed how people, in the excitement of talking about their plans, end up jinxing them. 'I have a very different personality in that sense,' she said.
