You should have taken a stand for Dilip.”What did Cyrus Broacha say about Dilip?During his conversation with Shantanu Anam, Cyrus admitted that he was not a fan of Dilip’s appearances in Farah’s videos."I don't like that guy. He irritates me. He is like acting all the time now. The first couple of times he was nice; otherwise, he looks like a fraud to me. I think Farah feeds him the lines, and then he says whatever he wants. Sometimes I feel his heart is not in it. He is overrated," he said.Shantanu, however, came to Dilip’s defence, arguing that his popularity was well deserved."You are the only person in the world who doesn't like Dilip. Dilip is lovable and sweet," he told Cyrus.How Farah Khan’s cook Dilip became an internet favouriteDilip has become a familiar face on social media through his appearances in Farah Khan’s YouTube vlogs.
