Farah Khan insists that cook Dilip eat with everyone at the dining table, but he refuses

Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan and her cook Dilip are back with another vlog. This time, they visited reality TV star Nikki Tamboli and her boyfriend Arbaz Patel at their beautiful home in Mumbai. The duo even prepared a special rose-chicken dish for Nikki and Arbaz.

The vlog started with Dilip’s hilarious quips about how wealthy Nikki and Arbaz are before they even step inside the house. While giving the house tour, Nikki revealed that she was suffering from dengue when Arbaz went to the reality show Rise & Fall. “I was on bed rest for a month. My platelets reached 15,000. My family was scared, and I had to get admitted. But I don’t know how I gained the strength suddenly.” she said.

The couple then opened up about their love story that bloomed on the reality show Bigg Boss Marathi. “I told the makers that I will come, but I want a boy. They had seen me in Bigg Boss Hindi. I said that I am single right now and I don’t have much demands, but I had made up my mind that I wanted someone special. It was love at first sight on the stage only. I didn’t know him. I googled him after going inside my vanity van,” she shared.

Later on, they moved towards the kitchen and Nikki Tamboli started cooking Maharashtrian butter prawn with Dilip’s help.

Towards the end of the vlog, everyone gathered at the dining table to enjoy the chicken and prawns. Farah Khan asked Dilip, “Will you eat?” He replied, “No ma’am, you all eat. Kitchen mein ache se khaa leta hu.” She smiled and teased him, “You’ll eat in the kitchen? Why in the kitchen? Main ache se nahi deti hu?” Dilip responded, “Nahi nahi, dete ho, but I’ll eat in the kitchen only.” However, Nikki set a plate for him so he could join them at the table.
