Farah Khan says her cook Dilip has taken many loans, she is repaying them till today; tells Baba Ramdev: ‘He’s a rat’
Farah Khan and Dilip recently visited Yoga guru Baba Ramdev in Haridwar where Farah Khan had a discussion on stress. She claimed Dilip keeps her stressed.

Farah Khan and her longtime cook Dilip are back with another episode of their YouTube series–this time stepping out of Mumbai. After their Delhi visit to Ashneer Grover, the duo headed to Haridwar to meet none other than Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev. The meeting began on a light note when Dilip rushed forward to touch Ramdev’s feet, declaring, “Main aapka bahut bada bhakt hoon (I am your biggest devotee).” With his signature wit, Ramdev teased, “Tu bada kahaan hai, tu toh bahut chhota sa bhakt hai (You are not big, you are a small devotee).”
Turning to Farah, Ramdev asked where she had found Dilip. Farah replied, “I didn’t exactly find him–let’s just say God sent him to me.” Amused, Ramdev pulled Dilip’s cheek and called him cute. Farah quickly chimed in, “If he’s that cute, why don’t you hire him here as your gardener?” But Dilip firmly refused, “No Babaji, I’ll only work for ma’am.” Ramdev laughed and delivered another one-liner: “Wahan maal zyada hai, yahan sirf mala hai. Don’t let go of money.”
The conversation soon turned playful. Farah complimented him: “Baba, I really like your sense of humour. Everyone says you’re always such a sport on shows.” Ramdev replied with a smile, “What’s the point of taking stress? People today are burdened physically and emotionally. I choose to live stress-free. Nirbhaar hoke jiyo.”
When he quizzed Farah on the meaning of nirbhaar, she joked, “It means to go out and live?” The room burst into laughter as she pushed Dilip forward to answer instead. Pointing at him, she teased, “This man is always nirbhaar–half the time he is out wandering, and the rest of the time he is giving me stress.”
Curious, Ramdev asked his name. “Dilip,” Farah replied. Then, in classic Farah style, she added: “He’s taken so many loans, I am still paying them off.” Ramdev chuckled, “Dilip actually means Samrat (King). But he doesn’t look like a king at all.” Quick on her feet, Farah shot back, “That’s because he’s not a Samrat… he’s just a rat.”
Taking her to his Shiv temple, Ramdev told his Guru: “She is a celebrity choreographer. Over 100 crore people know her. Yeh buddhi hogayi hai (she has become old). She is 60. But still, she looks like she is 40.” Farah replied: “See, the thing is when you have a good heart and you don’t take stress. You look young.”
Dilip has been working with Farah for the past 11 years. Previously, talking about his joining salary, Farah told Ashneer Grover’s mother: “He joined me with a salary of Rs 20,000. Today, I can’t tell you how much he earns.” In other vlogs, Farah Khan shared that she has shifted all of Dilip’s children to English medium school. She also helped him build a three-storey house in his hometown in Bihar.
