Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan’s cook, Dilip has become a household name ever since he featured in her daily vlog. Farah Khan had started her vlogs about 11 months ago. Over the months, the filmmaker-choreographer visited the houses of several television and Bollywood stars along with Dilip, sharing special recipes as well as fun gossip. Her vlogs has featured the stars of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives: Seema, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey and Neelam Kothari. It also featured Bharti Singh, Harsh Limbachiyaa, Baadshah, Sanjeev Kapoor, Kusha Kapila, Shivangi Joshi, Rakhi Sawant, and Aditi Rao Hydari among others.

In the latest vlog, Farah Khan visited actor Karan Wahi’s house along with Dilip, where she revealed her cook is all set to shoot with Shah Rukh Khan.

While cooking aata ka halwa at Wahi’s house, Farah asks Dilip, “Parsu kiske sath shooting hai? (Who do we have to shoot with the day after?)” Dilip quickly replies, “Shah Rukh Khan sir.” Karan asks whether a driver is needed to take him to the shoot, to which Dilip says, “If Farah ma’am will buy me a car then I will.” When asked “What car do you like?” Dilip says, “Currently, I am travelling in BMW. Now, planning to take something more expensive than that.”

A shocked Farah Khan says, “I have created a monster, clearly.” He then asks, “Which BMW model do we currently have?” When Farah asked if he needed that car, Dilip says, “No, you will buy me a new one.” Farah adds, “He doesn’t use second-hand cars.” She then pulls his leg, “I can buy you a BEST bus as well as local train, how about that?” Farah then shares, “I think I am going to cast him in my next film.”

In the same vlog, Karan Wahi reveals how Karan Patel lives in a bungalow. Farah Khan quickly adds, “Dilip too has a three-storey bungalow in Bihar. It has six bedrooms in it.” Dilip revealed his two sons, wife and parents live in that house while he works at Farah Khan’s house in Mumbai.

Previously, Dilip had shared a vlog from his visit to his village in Bihar, where he owns a huge house and several agricultural farms, lake and cattles.
