Farah Khan has responded to comedian Cyrus Broacha after he called her popular cook and YouTube collaborator Dilip Mukhiya a “fraud” and “overrated.” Rather than taking offence, the filmmaker turned the criticism into a joke, playfully offering Cyrus Dilip’s job. The exchange quickly attracted attention on social media, with viewers defending Dilip and suggesting that Cyrus should appear in one of Farah’s vlogs.
During a recent episode of his podcast Cyrus Says, Broacha discussed Dilip with actor and comedian Shantanu Anam. Questioning the authenticity of Dilip’s increasingly popular appearances, Cyrus said, “I don’t like that guy. He irritates me.”
He suggested that Dilip’s humour had become scripted and claimed Farah might be feeding him lines. “He is overrated,” Cyrus added.
Farah Khan’s Witty Reply Leaves Cyrus Broacha Amused
Farah responded in the video’s comment section, writing, “Cyrus I can replace him with you 😂.”
Cyrus immediately played along, asking, “Kal se aaun?” (Should I come from tomorrow?)
Their exchange prompted contrasting reactions. While some viewers suggested inviting Cyrus onto Farah’s channel, others insisted that Dilip was irreplaceable. A few also felt Farah should have defended her collaborator more directly.
How Dilip Became a YouTube Favourite
Dilip’s popularity extends beyond his cooking skills. His spontaneous conversations, comic timing and friendly disagreements with Farah have become central attractions of her celebrity home-visit videos.
His growing recognition has also created opportunities outside YouTube, including appearing in advertisements alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
Farah previously revealed that earnings from her channel helped clear Dilip’s debts and support his son’s culinary education.
That journey explains why Cyrus’s criticism attracted such strong reactions. For many viewers, Dilip represents the everyday personality who makes Farah’s celebrity-focused content relatable.
Whether his humour feels spontaneous or rehearsed remains a matter of personal opinion. Farah’s response, however, has turned a potentially awkward disagreement into another entertaining social media exchange.
