Director Farah Khan is making headlines once again, but this time, it is not due to her films. It is because of her entertaining and endearing cooking vlogs with her cook Dilip. The web can’t have enough of the two’s real chemistry and sense of humour as they jump from one celebrity house to the next, mixing up meals and giggles in equal proportions. Their latest trip to actor Rohit Saraf’s house, who plays the lead role in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, was no exception until a harmless joke raised unexpected controversy.
In the episode, Farah jokingly made a mention of Deepika Padukone’s oft-discussed 8-hour working day preference, which supposedly had the actress walking out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s movie Spirit. After the going-viral video, speculations started doing rounds that Farah had dropped Deepika and her husband Ranveer Singh from her social media following list, fuelling the gossip.
Farah has now cleared the controversy in an interview with Pinkvilla, putting things in place. “To start with, we were not following each other earlier, too!” she clarified. As per her, at the time of shooting Happy New Year in 2014, she and Deepika had a mutual decision to not use Instagram for communication. “We had made a pact… we don’t even give birthday wishes on Insta because Deepika doesn’t like it,” she stated.
Regarding the controversial 8-hour remark, Farah asserted it was just a joke. “It was not a jibe; it was to get Dilip to speak and say that he will work 8 hours now when actually he works only for 2 hours!” she chuckled. She also divulged that she was among the earliest to drop by Deepika’s place after the arrival of her daughter, Dua, and added, “Not everything is Instagram-and-pap done.”
Farah also responded to another social media-driven rumour between her and Karan Johar supposedly snubbing Aayush Sharma at the premiere of Homebound. She denied the rumor, clarifying that they had already met Aayush prior to walking the red carpet. “It can actually create issues between people,” she stated regarding such online rumors. “Fortunately, I take up the phone and call them before it escalates further!”
