Geeta Kapur on Farah Khan’s ‘temper’

When asked if she had ever been yelled at by Farah, Geeta said, “A lot. Her temper has nothing to do with how I worked. She has been like that since she was young. I think she’s a sweeter person off-set. But on-set, it happens by default because you’re working with men all the time. So, automatically, the dominant feature in her comes alive. She feels that if she’s firm, people might listen to her. We’re old-school and came from a male-dominated industry. That’s why she’s like that. She has often scolded me, but she also continues to give me a lot of love.”

Geeta also shared how meticulous Farah is with her YouTube channel, lauding her dedication towards it. Talking about her cook Dilip, who is now a regular feature, she said, “Dilip is now a superstar. She has made his life.”

Dilip has also acted in a commercial with Farah and often accompanies her to celebrity guests' homes to film episodes of them cooking various dishes. Their equation often makes people chuckle, with Farah chiding Dhilip and him indirectly pulling her leg in return.
