According to the image shared by the Main Hoon Na director, the fake Instagram account had 57.9K followers and even mentioned Farah in the bio. The account had 244 posts and had shared several reels, each with over 100,000 views. Many of the videos posted on the page were repurposed clips taken from Farah’s YouTube channel. The filmmaker-choreographer shared a screenshot of the fake profile on her Instagram Stories and warned the impersonator, stating, “We are complaining. You better take it down.”
Shortly after Farah Khan’s warning, the account’s username was quickly changed to A1 Blogger, and its display picture was also altered. All the posts on the account were removed.

Recently, on her YouTube vlog, Farah Khan had revealed how she met Dilip. Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur appeared on her vlog to promote their film Son of Sardaar 2. While interacting with them, she recalled how she met Dilip outside Ajay’s house over a decade ago. She revealed that Dilip’s brother, Bholaa, was working as a chef at Ajay’s house, and Dilip had developed a friendly bond with Ajay’s mother.
She said, “You know how I found him? Oh my God! I have to tell you this story. He was outside your house. How could I forget this? Yeh aapke bungalow ke bahar ghoom raha tha, aur aapki mummy ne isse Son of Sardaar ki ticket di (He was loitering outside your house, and your mother gave him tickets for Son of Sardaar).”
Dilip nodded excitedly and said, “Mummy ke saath achi jaan-pehchan thi. Mera chhota bhai kaam karta tha, Bholaa (I shared a good bond with Ajay’s mother, my younger brother used to work there).” Farah then asked Ajay to check with his mother if she remembers Dilip.
