Karan Johar breaks silence on Ozempic rumours, says his weight loss secret is…
In the glamorous world of Bollywood, staying fit and looking aesthetically pleasing is essential. While some actors and influencers undertake this transformative journey for a specific role, others do it to appear youthful on screen. Weight loss requires dedication, persistence, and patience. This transformative journey is not as smooth-sailing as it seems, yet today in the entertainment industry, shedding kilos has become the latest norm.
From actors, celebrities to influencers, we see all of them flaunting their transformative physique, leaving us wondering what’s the secret behind their weight loss? Is it a crash diet, intermittent fasting, or Ozempic again? Originally prescribed for type-2 diabetes, Ozempic has gained notable fame amongst the celebrity circle for its rapid weight-loss effects. While many in the public eye continue to remain tight-lipped, director-producer Karan Johar has taken a stand, dismissing the growing whispers that credit his transformation to the drug.
This is not the first time that Karan Johar’s weight loss has been in the limelight. Karan Johar’s drastic transformation has been making headlines since last year. However, speculations of him taking the help of the drug for his weight loss began after Maheep Kapoor’s remarks from the Netflix show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. In the show, Maheep was seen criticising those who have been using Ozempic for cosmetic weight loss, pointing out how that creates a shortage for diabetic patients.
Later about that, a user on X pointed out that Karan Johar, producer of Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives, should be called out by Maheep Kapoor for allegedly using Ozempic for weight loss, “Maheep rightly called out people for using Ozempic for fast weight loss and driving it out of stock for people with diabetes. Hope she calls out Karan Johar too, the producer of Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives”
Not one to ignore shade, Karan swiftly responded. “Being healthy and eating well and reinventing the wheel of your own nutrition! Aur Ozempic ko mile credit???” he posted, tagging Maheep with the cheeky question: “Did you mean me???”
Back in March, during the IIFA Digital Awards, Karan was asked to spill his weight loss secret; he simply attributed it to “eating well, exercising, and doing your best to look good.” When someone prodded him further, he laughed it off, saying, “If I do that, I’ll give my secret away.”
Later, in an Instagram live session, Karan Johar revealed that the motivation behind his health journey began when he realised his blood levels needed correcting. That wake-up call set him on a path of mindful eating and disciplined living.
He shared that he’s been following a strict routine, often limiting himself to just one meal a day to cut down on excess weight. With his diet in check, he also stays active by playing paddleball and swimming regularly.
While his fans and netizens still seem the speculate the secret behind his weight loss, Karan Johar has dismissed the Ozempic rumours and told everyone that not quick fixes but sustainable options is the real reason behind his dramatic transformation.
