Farah Khan and her cook Dilip have become one of YouTube’s most entertaining duos, known for their lighthearted banter and fun-filled travel vlogs. For their latest episode, the pair flew to Delhi to meet none other than Shark Tank India fame and former BharatPe managing director, Ashneer Grover. Ashneer is now hosting the TV reality show, Rise and Fall.

Excited about the shoot, Dilip announced on camera: “I am going to Delhi and I am taking [Farah] ma’am along with me. I am going to shoot.” His statement left Farah visibly shocked. With mock irritation, she asked: “Dilip? Are you taking me with you or am I taking you with me? Those are my bags! What have you brought? Where is your ticket?”

A confused Dilip admitted he didn’t have one. Bursting into laughter, Farah put him in place: “That’s because it’s with me, and I am taking you to Delhi.” Eventually, Dilip sheepishly agreed.

The travel misadventures didn’t end there. At the airport lounge, Dilip was stopped by ground staff. “Excuse me sir, your ticket is economy. You can’t be here. You’ll have to go out,” they told him. A shocked Dilip ran to Farah: “Ma’am, they’re not letting me in!” Farah, keeping up the comedy, pretended not to know him: “I don’t know this man” as she walked into the lounge, while the guards threw Dilip out.

Once in Delhi, the duo headed to Ashneer Grover’s lavish home. While Farah introduced Dilip to Ashneer’s wife, Madhuri, Dilip blurted out: “She looks different from what I had seen.” A startled Farah asked, “Where did you see her?” His reply had everyone in splits: “In the song ‘Ek Do Teen’.” He mistook Madhuri Grover for Madhuri Dixit.

The conversation soon turned to Ashneer’s famous catchphrase doglapan. Farah was amused to learn that Ashneer had trademarked the word. Joking about it, he said: “Every time you say doglapan, you’ll have to pay me Rs 50,000. I also charge people who actually do doglapan.” Quick to seize the moment, Farah teased Dilip: “If that’s the case, phir toh Dilip kangaal ho jayega!”

The lighthearted mood continued when Ashneer’s mother revealed: “Dilip told us he first came to Delhi for a job that paid just Rs 300.” Farah chimed in: “And when he joined me, his salary was Rs 20,000. Don’t ask me what he earns now!”

Towards the end of the visit, the Grovers surprised the duo with gifts. While Farah received outfits and hand-crafted décor, Dilip was given a brand-new shirt. Farah couldn’t resist pulling his leg again: “Dilip, most of your shirts are gifted by others!”
