Filmmaker-turned-digital creator Farah Khan has become a familiar face to food lovers across the country, largely because of her engaging kitchen vlogs featuring her trusted chef and assistant, Dilip. In her latest episode, the director of Om Shanti Om headed to the Mumbai residence of reality television personality Nikki Tamboli and her partner Arbaz Patel. The duo even whipped up a special roast chicken dish as a treat for the couple.Fun Beginnings and a Warm Welcome
The vlog kicked off with Dilip’s playful remarks about how affluent the couple must be, even before they stepped through the doorway. As Nikki showed them around her elegantly designed home, she revealed that she had recently recovered from a severe bout of dengue while Arbaz was participating in the show Rise & Fall. She shared that she had been confined to her bed for a month, with her platelet count dropping to a dangerously low level, leaving her family frightened. Despite the health scare, she recounted how she unexpectedly regained her strength during the ordeal.
A Romance Sparked on Reality Television
Nikki and Arbaz also reminisced about how their relationship blossomed during their time on Bigg Boss Marathi. Nikki recalled telling the production team that she would join the show only if they brought in a potential partner, explaining that she was single and hoping to meet someone meaningful. She said she felt an instant connection the moment she saw Arbaz on stage. Arbaz shyly acknowledged that Nikki had openly declared he belonged to her, while Nikki added that she later searched his name online since she knew little about him then. Touched by their story, Farah playfully referenced one of her iconic dialogues about the universe aligning when someone desires something wholeheartedly.
Cooking, Conversations and Shared Plates
The group then shifted to the kitchen, where Nikki began preparing a traditional Maharashtrian butter prawn dish with Dilip assisting her. As the vlog neared its conclusion, everyone gathered around the dining table to savor the chicken and prawns. Farah teased Dilip about his habit of eating in the kitchen, and though he insisted he preferred it, Nikki made sure he had a proper seat at the table so he could enjoy the meal with the rest of them.
