Filmmaker Farah Khan and her cook Dilip’s vlogs have become a recent internet sensation, captivating audiences with their delightful camaraderie and chemistry. Following a visit to actor Rohit Saraf’s home, where Farah made a lighthearted comment about Deepika Padukone’s rumored 8-hour shift demand for the film ‘Spirit’, rumors began circulating that Farah had unfollowed Deepika and her husband, Ranveer Singh, on Instagram.
However, Farah Khan has now clarified the situation, stating in a recent interview that they were never following each other on social media. She explained, “To begin with, we were not following each other earlier, too!! We had made a pact during the Happy New Year shoot that we wouldn’t communicate on Instagram; instead, direct message and call. We don’t even wish birthday wishes on Insta because Deepika doesn’t like it.” Farah also added that her comment about the 8-hour shift was a joke aimed at her cook, Dilip, and not a jab at Deepika. She further emphasized that many personal moments, like her early visit to see Deepika after the birth of her child Dua, are kept private and not shared for social media attention.
The filmmaker also touched upon recent misunderstandings fueled by social media, referencing an incident at a movie premiere where she and Karan Johar were accused of ignoring Aayush Sharma. Farah stressed the importance of direct communication, stating, “It can genuinely cause problems between people; thankfully, I pick up the phone and call them before it gets worse! But people need to stop doing this!”
Farah Khan and Deepika Padukone’s last collaboration was the 2014 film ‘Happy New Year’.
