I am going to shoot." Farah, surprised, jokingly replied, “Dilip? Are you taking me with you or am I taking you with me? Those are my bags! What have you brought? Where is your ticket?"Ticket troubles at the airportWhen Dilip shyly admitted he didn’t have a ticket, Farah laughed and set him straight: “That’s because it’s with me, and I am taking you to Delhi." The fun continued at the airport lounge, where staff stopped Dilip. They said, “Excuse me sir, your ticket is economy. You can’t be here. You’ll have to go out." Panicked, Dilip ran to Farah for help: “Ma’am, they’re not letting me in!" Without missing a beat, Farah said seriously, “I don’t know this man," and walked into the lounge as guards moved Dilip out.Mistaking a guest at the Grover’sDuring their visit to Delhi, Farah introduced her cook Dilip to Ashneer Grover's wife, Madhuri Grover. However, Dilip surprised everyone with an innocent blunder, saying she looks different from what he has seen. Farah asks in disbelief, “Where did you see her?" To which Dilip replied innocently, “In the song ‘Ek Do Teen’," humorously mistaking Madhuri Grover for the famed Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit. Laughter erupts all around. The conversation then shifted to Ashneer’s popular term, doglapan. With a smile, Ashneer mentioned he had trademarked the phrase, joking, “Every time you say doglapan, you’ll have to pay me Rs 50,000. I also charge people who actually do doglapan." Farah quickly added, “If that’s the case, phir toh Dilip kangaal ho jayega!"Dilip’s journey from Rs 300 to big earningsLater, Ashneer’s mother goes on to share a fun fact about Dilip, saying, “Dilip told us he first came to Delhi for a job that paid just Rs 300." Farah quickly added, “And when he joined me, his salary was Rs 20,000. Don’t ask me what he earns now!" The visit ended warmly, with the Grovers giving gifts to their guests. Farah got clothes and handmade decorations, while Dilip received a new shirt. Farah playfully teased him again, saying, “Dilip, most of your shirts are gifted by others!"
