Farah Khan’s Cook, Dilip, Becomes an Internet Star in Viral Maldives Travel Vlog
Mumbai: The internet is buzzing with the viral debut of filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan’s new travel vlog series, featuring her beloved cook, Dilip. The dynamic duo, known for their hilarious banter, have taken their antics to the picturesque Maldives, and their first episode has already become a sensation, with fans celebrating Dilip’s newfound stardom.
The episode opens with an excited Dilip proudly brandishing his passport, a moment he humorously calls a historic first for a man of his stature. The footage captures his infectious excitement as he embarks on his first international journey. Upon arrival, the playful rivalry escalates. Farah introduces her manager, Kalp, only to be one-upped by Dilip, who reveals he has a manager of his own. In a delightful twist that has viewers in stitches, Dilip finds himself checked into a luxurious private water villa, while Farah is left to settle for a more modest room.
The duo’s adventure on Maafushi Island is a highlight of the episode. Farah, the seasoned choreographer, joins locals in a traditional Maldivian dance, impressing everyone. Dilip’s deadpan wit shines through with a perfectly timed Hindi line, “Ma’am, aap itna achha nachte ho, choreographer kyun nahi ban jaate?” (Ma’am, you dance so well, why don’t you become a choreographer?), a playful jab at his boss’s legendary career.
The vlog continues with a series of charming moments that showcase their bond. They learn to cook authentic Maldivian chicken curry, don traditional outfits, and celebrate Eid with a local family. The episode culminates in a sweet, viral moment where Farah lovingly feeds Dilip a cherry from a recreated Indian street food market set up in the Maldives, a gesture that has been shared widely across social media.
This travel series is an evolution of the popular cooking vlogs Farah started in 2024, where Dilip would cook with her in various celebrity kitchens. Their natural rapport and lighthearted exchanges quickly won over the internet, transforming Dilip from a quiet cook into an unlikely celebrity with a massive fan following. Their latest adventure proves their partnership is a winning formula, leaving fans eagerly awaiting their next episode.
