Farah Khan Says YouTube Earnings Surpassed Any Film Year, Helped Clear Her Cook’s Debts

She credits YouTube’s creative freedom, with a fast-growing celebrity-food vlog driving the payoff.

Overview

  • In new interviews, Khan called her YouTube income “massive,” saying a single year outpaced what she has made in other years of filmmaking.
  • She said about a year of those earnings went to paying off cook Dilip’s debts, and she is funding his children’s English-medium schooling and a culinary diploma for one son.
  • The channel earned a Silver Play Button by its second vlog and has grown to roughly 2.5 million subscribers in about 18 months.
  • Khan says YouTube lets her choose guests and retain content without cuts or restrictions from TV or OTT platforms.
  • She has increased Dilip’s pay, shares vlog earnings with him, and is seeking brand support to get his house built for free as his on-screen popularity brings ad work.
