Why Did Cyrus Broacha Call Dilip a ‘Fraud’?
The controversy began during a conversation on Cyrus Broacha’s podcast.

Shantanu described Dilip as lovable and sweet, defending the personality that has helped him become a fan favourite. The contrasting views made the exchange even more interesting, particularly because Dilip’s popularity has grown significantly through his appearances alongside Farah.
