How much does Farah Khan earn from her YouTube channel?
Farah Khan’s love for cooking has found a new audience on YouTube. Together with her home chef Dilip Kumar, she launched a channel called Fun with Farah, where she meets celebrities, gives a glimpse into their homes and lifestyles and cooks delicious food with them.
A few months ago, Farah had revealed about her “huge earnings” from vlogging.
He revealed, “In my entire career, maybe a year, I have never made this much money, even though I have directed so many films.”
Speaking about the creative freedom offered by YouTube, she said, “It’s my channel, so there’s no OTT platform or production house telling me ‘Yeh toh kaatna hi padega’, nor is there any TV channel saying you can only bring this guest, which I hated. The difference between the A-listers and the so-called irritating guests always bothered me.”
Farah also shared that the success of the vlogs has had a positive impact on Dilip Kumar’s life. The growing fame and popularity helped him pay off his debts and now he has started building his own house.
