Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan’s latest YouTube vlog turned unexpectedly heartwarming when her cook, Dilip, made a humble request to Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari asking for a road in his village.
Farah Khan recently visited Nitin Gadkari’s Delhi residence along with Dilip for a light-hearted episode of her popular vlog. Known for her candid humour and Dilip’s unfiltered innocence, the meeting quickly became memorable. As Farah greeted the minister with a handshake, Dilip touched his feet, setting the tone for a moment that blended respect, humour and simplicity.
Introducing her guest, Farah joked that such a “big personality” had never appeared on her vlog before. She then warned Gadkari with a smile that Dilip had a request and might “irritate” him by repeating it. Without hesitation, Dilip folded his hands and said, “Sir, please make a road in my village.” Dilip hails from Darbhanga in Bihar, and his request reflected a very real concern faced by many rural Indians.
Farah’s reaction was priceless. She smacked her forehead in mock disbelief and joked that Gadkari builds massive flyovers and expressways across the country, while Dilip was asking for a simple village road. The minister listened patiently, smiled warmly and appeared genuinely touched by the straightforward appeal.
The moment struck a chord with viewers, highlighting how everyday citizens often carry simple but meaningful hopes from those in power. What could have been just another celebrity vlog turned into a subtle reminder of grassroots issues.
Farah Khan began her YouTube journey in 2024 while waiting to start her next film. Her cooking vlogs, driven by her banter with Dilip, quickly gained popularity and turned him into an internet sensation. Since then, Dilip has featured in advertisements and even appeared alongside stars like Shah Rukh Khan.
This episode, however, stood out, not for glamour, but for its sincerity.
