In a recent vlog filmed at actress Shruti Haasan’s beautiful Mumbai home, filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan gave fans a fun and honest peek behind the scenes, and addressed the question that everyone’s been asking: Is Dilip, her now-famous cook, getting extra money for his YouTube appearances?
As Shruti played a lovely tune on the piano and sang a soulful song, the conversation turned to Dilip, who has become a star in his own right. Shruti, in her usual curious and playful style, asked Farah directly, “Does Dilip get extra royalty or fees for these videos?”

Farah smiled and said, “Yes, he gets a lot! More than everyone here put together.” That answer sparked laughter, but also cleared the air.
Farah, however, didn’t share the exact amount. When Shruti said, “We were just worried about Dilip,” Farah Khan joked, “Don’t be worried about him, be worried about me.”
Dilip has come a long way since his first vlog appearance in 2023. He originally worked as Farah Khan’s personal cook. But when Farah launched her YouTube cooking series in 2024, he quickly stole the spotlight. His natural humour, sweet personality, and spontaneous charm won over audiences across the country.
What started as a fun home video project turned into a full-blown internet sensation.
Fans absolutely love the duo’s chemistry. And it’s not just fans who noticed, big brands did too. Dilip has landed some exciting brand deals with companies like Myntra and Vim. He even appeared in a commercial alongside superstar Shah Rukh Khan!
But perhaps the most surprising update? Dilip now has his own personal manager! Yes, you read that right. The humble cook-turned-social media star now has someone handling his schedule and deals.
