Many people pointed out that they do not approve how Farah Khan's cook, Dilip, is treated in her vlogs, which garner millions of views on YouTube.

Audiences on Reddit voiced their displeasure at how Farah Khan’s cook, Dilip, is treated in her vlogs. The filmmaker-choreographer has found a massive audience on YouTube channel, where she creates food-related content with Dilip. The channel has over 1.5 million subscribers. The latest episode featured casting director Mukesh Chhabra, whose treatment of Dilip raised a few eyebrows. Sharing a clip from the episode, in which Mukesh appears to shove Dilip, people complained about the disrespect with which he is often treated. Several episodes of the series feature scripted bits where Farah threatens to fire Dilip, who, in turn, complains about his low salary.

After making him ‘audition’ for a role in the new episode, Mukesh said, “You should stick to the kitchen.” Later, while preparing biryani with the help of his personal cook, Mukesh told Dilip, “You don’t know how to act, you don’t know how to make biryani.” When Farah advised Dilip to not stand in the shadow, Dilip jokingly stood in front of her. Mukesh pushed him aside, which angered observers on social media. The clip was shared on Reddit with the heading, “Mukesh Chhabra misbehaving with Farah’s cook Dilip.”

People in the comments alluded to this. “It came to my attention too while watching the video. Mukesh Chhabra pulled him forcefully, without realising that Dilip is doing it in jest. It was very rude. Even earlier in the episode, he insults Dilip by telling him that he doesn’t have any acting talent bitterly, and then Farah subtly comes to Dilip’s defense by saying he acts well while asking for a salary hike. The vibe was off during this video as compared to all the other guests Farah has on her show.”

Another person commented, “I feel so bad for Dilip! I know Farah wants to be funny/make it appear as if it’s fun banter but I honestly feel uncomfortable with the sorts of things she gets Dilip to say/says to him and makes him do. She should know where to draw the line. How disrespectful.” A third person concurred, adding, “I dont care if this is scripted- you shouldn’t treat someone this way. it’s not funny.”

Others accused Mukesh of being ‘elitist’ and ‘classist’. Another person commented, “I have also noted in her videos, that whenever they go to someone’s house, he touches everyone’s feet, now I can understand he does that for elders, but he also does that for young ppl too, which is very sad!!”

The comments section of the original video was also filled with negative reactions to Mukesh’s perceived behaviour. “Mukesh Chabbra showed how he behaves with people from a different class. I liked Farah Khan standing for Dilip,” one of the top-voted comments read. “The way Farah ma’am called Dilip her baccha and supported him, I just fell in awe for her,” another person wrote; Farah ‘liked’ this comment. Highlighting the shove, a third person wrote, “Why would he do that? Everyone deserves respect no matter what job they do. We love you Dilip , you are the real star of the channel.” Another viewer praised Farah for saying, “Mera Dilip pure India mein famous hai.” Farah’s vlogs have featured several prominent Bollywood personalities, such as Ananya Panday, Archana Puran Singh, Kabir Khan, and others.
