Farah Saw Arjun Kapoor's Talent On Salman Khan's Film Set: ‘Itna Mota Tha, Free Mein Aa Gaya'
Farah Khan shares how she first saw Arjun Kapoor's star potential during a Maldives shoot, with Arjun revealing his early dream to act and love for Michael Jackson. Farah Khan, celebrated choreographer and director of hits like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Tees Maar Khan, recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane in her latest YouTube vlog. The filmmaker recalled the exact moment she realised Arjun Kapoor could become an actor — a memory dating back to the shooting of Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya in the Maldives. 'The day I realised that Arjun can become an actor, can become a star… we had gone to the Maldives to shoot for Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. Tab yeh itna motu tha, pata nahi aise hi aa gaya tha free mein, with Varun and all… Of course, there used to be a party every night after the shoot, everyone would get together… and suddenly he started dancing. We were all like, what the hell, Fubu!" Farah recalled, using Arjun's nickname. According to her, the lively and impromptu dance moves revealed a spark that hinted at Arjun's future in acting. Arjun Kapoor on His Early Dream and MJ Inspiration Reacting to Farah's anecdote, Arjun Kapoor admitted that even back then, he was drawn towards acting. 'I actually did think back then that I wanted to become an actor. I was a huge Michael Jackson fan growing up," he said. His love for performance and admiration for the King of Pop further fuelled his desire to work in films. While the Maldives memory brought smiles, it also highlighted how early encouragement and recognition can shape an actor's journey. What the Kapoor Siblings Are Doing Now Arjun Kapoor was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi alongside Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. Known for his versatile roles, Arjun continues to experiment with genres in Bollywood. Meanwhile, his sister Anshula Kapoor, who has carved her own niche outside acting, recently appeared on Karan Johar's reality series Traitors. Farah's vlogs, known for their candid moments with celebrities, often reveal behind-the-scenes stories fans rarely get to hear. This Maldives memory not only gave a glimpse of Arjun's early days but also showcased Farah's knack for spotting talent — whether in the dance studio, on a film set, or even at an impromptu party.

Farah Khan Jokes She's The ‘Star-Maker' After Arjun Kapoor Calls Dileep ‘The Star'
Last Updated: Farah Khan responds to Arjun and Anshula Kapoor calling cook Dileep the star of her vlogs, joking she's the 'star-maker' who launched Rakhi Sawant and Deepika Padukone. Farah Khan's cooking vlogs have become a delightful mix of food, friendship, and Bollywood banter. In her latest episode, she visited siblings Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor, bringing along her ever-popular cook, Dileep. Known for his charm and quick wit, Dileep didn't just cook — he entertained, even dancing with Arjun in the middle of the episode. As the banter flowed, both Arjun and Anshula playfully declared Dileep to be the 'main star" of the vlog. Farah, never one to miss a beat, rolled her eyes and quipped, 'I am the star-maker, what do I do? Rakhi Sawant, then Deepika [Padukone], and now…" — leaving the sentence hanging with an unmistakable nod toward Dileep. The Origin of Farah's Cooking Vlogs During the episode, Arjun asked Farah how the idea for her YouTube channel began. Farah revealed that she initially planned it as a pure cooking vlog, but soon realised it was too much work alone. Bringing Dileep onboard provided not just culinary help but also a dynamic presence for on-screen banter. 'The first vlog clicked, and by the second vlog we had a silver button," Farah said, crediting the unique blend of cooking, celebrity appearances, and humour for the channel's rapid success. When Anshula reiterated, 'But Dileep is the star!" and Arjun added, 'Sorry to inform you!", Dileep joined in the fun, answering rapid-fire questions. When asked who he preferred in Gunday — Ranveer Singh or Arjun Kapoor — he diplomatically, and perhaps strategically, picked Arjun. Farah Khan: From Bollywood Debuts to YouTube Star-Maker Farah's 'star-maker" comment isn't just a joke — it's rooted in her career. She cast Rakhi Sawant in Main Hoon Na and launched Deepika Padukone opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om. Now, with her vlogs, she's inadvertently given Dileep a fan following of his own. Since starting the vlogs in 2024, Farah and Dileep have visited multiple celebrity homes, cooking meals and sharing candid conversations. The format has evolved into a web series-style show loved for its authenticity and humour, proving Farah's knack for blending entertainment with relatability — whether in films or on YouTube.

Farah Khan Warns Cook Dilip Not To Tell Husband About Her Flirting With Boman Irani
Last Updated: Farah Khan jokingly warns cook Dilip not to tell her husband she flirts with Boman Irani, says she considered casting couch for Main Hoon Na. Farah Khan's latest vlog is a riot of laughter, nostalgic anecdotes and trademark wit as she visits longtime friend and actor Boman Irani's home, accompanied by her ever-entertaining cook, Dilip. Known for their infectious chemistry and effortless humour, Farah and Boman light up the screen with their banter—and this time, even Boman's wife Zenobia joins in on the fun. Before stepping into the Irani household, Farah cheekily warns Dilip, 'Don't tell Shirish if I flirt with Boman." Confused, Dilip innocently asks, 'What is flirting?" Farah, with a mischievous grin, explains, 'Flirting means nain mataka, or if I hug Boman sir, or sit next to him." The laughs don't stop there. Recalling the casting of her 2004 film Main Hoon Na, Farah takes a playful dig, saying, '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!" The room bursts into laughter. Dilip, clearly puzzled, is then asked if he knows what 'casting couch" means. When he says no, Farah shoos him away with a giggle: 'You please go to the kitchen now." Even Zenobia takes it in stride. When Boman asks how she puts up with such jokes, Farah interjects, 'Because she knows nobody believes we're having an affair." The vlog also reveals a charming throwback: Farah once dressed up for what she thought was Boman's birthday party, only to realise she had arrived a day early. The friends shared a hearty laugh reminiscing about the mix-up. As the group makes their way to the kitchen, Irani tries to excuse himself: 'This means it is my time to get out of the kitchen." But Farah protests, 'No sir, you need to be here. Chutney kaun lagayega apne haatho se?" prompting Irani to call Dilip for help. In a final moment of comic warning, Farah tells Dilip, 'Dare you tell anything to Shirish. I will have your salary reduced," to which Dilip responds with a sheepish smile.

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.

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.
