Cyrus Broacha Criticises Dilip’s Role in Farah Khan’s Vlogs
Indiadailyupdate.com – Cyrus Broacha calls Farah Khan’s cook Dilip “overrated” while sharing his views on the popular personality’s appearances in the filmmaker’s YouTube videos. Dilip has become a familiar face in Farah’s celebrity-home vlogs, where his chats and comic exchanges with her are a recurring feature.
On an episode of his YouTube talk show Cyrus Says, Cyrus spoke to comedian, actor and improviser Shantanu Anam about Dilip’s popularity. He said Dilip’s humour now appeared less spontaneous to him than it did in the early videos.
“I don’t like that guy. He irritates me. He is like acting all the time now. The first couple of times he was nice otherwise he looks like a fraud to me. I think Farah feeds him the lines and then he says whatever he wants. Sometimes I feel his heart is not in it. He is overrated.”
Cyrus Broacha calls Farah Khan’s vlog regular a “fraud” in the context of what he believes is a more scripted on-screen persona. Dilip often joins Farah when she visits film personalities and other well-known guests, and their banter has become a key part of the videos.
Shantanu Anam Comes to Dilip’s Defence
Shantanu disagreed with Cyrus’s assessment and said Dilip is widely loved by viewers. He described him as a sweet and likeable person, suggesting Cyrus was alone in his criticism.
“You are the only person in the world who doesn’t like Dilip. Dilip is lovable and sweet.”
The exchange reflects Dilip’s growing recognition among audiences who follow Farah’s channel. While Cyrus Broacha calls Farah Khan’s cook less convincing as his visibility has increased, many viewers continue to enjoy his simple manner and rapport with the filmmaker.
Farah Khan’s Support for Dilip and His Family
Farah has previously spoken about how the success of her YouTube channel created additional opportunities for Dilip. In 2025, she said he had been able to address financial liabilities and begin plans to build a house in his native Bihar.
She also said that his children were enrolled in an English-medium school, while one of his sons received help to pursue a culinary diploma course. Farah discussed Dilip’s debts during a YouTube conversation with Soha Ali Khan.
“He had a lot of debt, I don’t know from where, so one year has gone by just paying off his debt and telling him that he cannot take a loan on interest anymore because whatever I am giving him is going down a well. So I have cleared all his debts, and now he’s building his house. I am trying to get many brands involved so that we give him the house for free.”
Dilip’s Journey Before YouTube Fame
Dilip has spoken about beginning work in Delhi for a salary of ₹300. He later joined Farah’s household on a monthly salary of ₹20,000. Farah has said his earnings rose significantly after her channel gained momentum, and that he receives extra payment or a share of income related to vlog content.
His progression from low-paid work to a recognisable figure in celebrity-focused online videos helps explain his audience appeal. The differing reactions from Cyrus and Shantanu show that Dilip’s role continues to generate conversation among viewers.
