Farah Khan surprises cook Dilip with his first Maldives trip, internet calls it 'boss goals'

Farah Khan’s latest vlog isn’t just about luxury or travel—it’s about a sweet, unexpected gesture. The choreographer and filmmaker took her longtime cook, Dilip, on his first-ever international trip to the Maldives. And the internet can’t stop talking about it.

The video begins with Dilip sharing his excitement after receiving his passport. Farah, without missing a beat, decides to include him in her Maldives holiday, along with two of her team members. From that point, the tone is set—this isn’t a celebrity travel vlog, it’s something far more personal.

After arriving in the Maldives, Farah introduces her manager Kalp to the audience, only for Dilip to chime in and introduce his own ‘manager’—who, as it turns out, has booked him into a premium experience. The accommodations are top-tier: private water villas, curated activities, and even a personal style upgrade.

At one point, Dilip opts for a full blonde hair makeover, which leaves Farah amused and a bit flustered. But despite the playful bickering, the camaraderie between the two is evident. From jet skiing and banana boat rides to cultural excursions on Maafushi Island, the vlog captures their genuine enjoyment.

They even join locals in a traditional Maldivian dance, and later head into a local’s home to learn how to cook Maldivian chicken curry. Their trip also coincides with Eid, adding a festive layer to the experience. A visit to an ‘Indian street market’ in the Maldives further grounds the vlog in relatable, everyday joys.

The video quickly went viral. Comments poured in applauding Farah’s gesture, with users calling her “humble,” “real,” and a “true boss.” One fan wrote, “Mad respect,” while another tagged it as “boss goals.”

While celebrity travel content can often feel curated and distant, Farah’s vlog stood out for its warmth and spontaneity. It offered a rare behind-the-scenes look at how some stars treat their people—not as staff, but as part of the journey.

Professionally, Farah Khan hasn’t directed a film since Happy New Year in 2014, but her return to direction is reportedly in the works. Until then, her vlogs continue to bring something fresh—and very human—to the feed.
