Farah Khan Reveals Shah Rukh Khan’s Hilarious Reaction to Shooting Ad with Her Cook: “Look at the Phase I’m Going Through!”
Bollywood filmmaker Farah Khan is known for her entertaining vlogs, but it’s her cook, Dilip, who’s quickly becoming the real star. In a recent video, Farah shared a hilarious story about how Dilip ended up shooting an advertisement with none other than Shah Rukh Khan.
During a visit to director Kabir Khan and Mini Mathur’s home, Farah revealed that she was originally supposed to be part of the ad shoot, but the brand asked her to bring Dilip instead. Recalling Shah Rukh’s reaction to the surprising casting change, Farah said, “Dilip called me and asked for help, so I went to teach him. Later, Shah Rukh told me, ‘Mera time dekh kya chal raha hai, main tere cook ke saath ad kar raha hoon’ (Look at what times I’m going through — I’m doing an ad with your cook). I told him, ‘Think about my situation — I’m directing my cook instead of you!’”
Dilip proudly confirmed the collaboration in a previous vlog when he and Farah visited actor Gaurav Khanna, who recently won Celebrity MasterChef. “I was supposed to be in the ad,” Farah explained. “But at the last minute, they told me to bring Dilip instead.” When asked who he shot with, Dilip grinned and said, “Shah Rukh Khan.”
The fun continued in Farah’s latest vlog when Mini asked Dilip if he could make tea. Farah chimed in with a laugh, saying, “He can, but he has three sous-chefs to do it for him. He only cooks meals. I once asked if he needed a dishwasher, and he said, ‘No, I have three at home.’ Then he pointed to our house helps—Pushpa, Roshni, and Suman—and said, ‘These are my dishwashers.’ I don’t know how politically incorrect that is!”
On the work front, Farah recently choreographed Zohra Jabeen, a song from Salman Khan’s film Sikandar, which also features Rashmika Mandanna. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan, last seen in Dunki, is gearing up for his next project King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film is expected to go on floors later this year and will reportedly star Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.
