Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan recently took to social media to raise an alarm over a fake Instagram account impersonating her long-time cook, Dilip. Farah clarified that the account in question is not managed by her staff member and issued a stern warning to the impersonator. Farah Khan\u2019s celebrity cooking vlogs often features her cook Dilip as the unexpected scene-stealer which has made him widely popular online.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, Farah Khan took to her Instagram Stories to call out a fake social media account impersonating her cook, Dilip. She shared a screenshot of the profile, which had amassed over 50,000 followers and falsely claimed to be a blogger\u2014going so far as to mention her name in the bio. Labeling it as a \u201cFAKE account,” Farah wrote, \u201cWe are complaining,” and directly addressed the impersonator, warning, \u201cYou better take it down.”<\/p>\n

At the time Farah Khan flagged the impersonator\u2019s profile, the account had 244 posts, including several Reels that had garnered over 100,000 views each, most of them repurposed clips from Farah and Dilip\u2019s popular vlogs. However, within minutes of Farah\u2019s public warning, the account swiftly changed its username and display picture and removed or archived all existing posts. It now appears under the name A1 Blogger and shows zero posts.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, while this account had gained considerable traction, there are a few other fake profiles on Instagram claiming to be Dilip. However, those have a negligible presence, with most struggling to cross even 100 followers.<\/p>\n

In a recent vlog featuring Ajay Devgn, filmmaker Farah Khan shared a light-hearted anecdote about how she first met her now-famous cook, Dilip. \u201cYou know how I found him? Oh my God! I have to tell you this story,” she told Ajay during their chat. \u201cHe was outside your house. How could I forget this? Yeh aapke bungalow ke bahar ghoom raha tha (He was loitering around your bungalow). This was about 12\u201313 years ago,” she added, laughing.<\/p>\n

Farah Khan kicked off her cooking vlogs with her trusted cook Dilip in 2024, and the series has since become a social media favourite. Known for her trademark humour and effortless camaraderie with Dilip, Farah brings a refreshing charm to each episode. Together, the duo has visited several celebrity homes including those of Raveena Tandon, Sania Mirza, Malaika Arora, and Himesh Reshammiya where they whip up simple, comforting meals while trading witty banter and indulging in light-hearted, candid chats.<\/p>\n
