Karan Johar’s weight loss grabbed attention
Since 2024, Karan has been grabbing attention on social media after transforming his physique. Earlier in 2024, although the filmmaker clarified that the drastic results were all due to his healthy weight loss and diet choices, many speculated he was on weight loss drugs.
In the last many months, Karan has been spotted at various public events with a toned-down look, and it is hard to escape the numerous before-and-after photos of the filmmaker on social media. In October, 2024, Karan himself reacted to rumours of ‘using Ozempic for fast weight loss’ after Maheep Kapoor’s comment on the Netflix show, Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives.
Reacting to a tweet, he had written on Instagram Stories, “Being healthy and eating well and reinventing the wheel of your own nutrition! Aur Ozempic ko mile credit (And the credit goes to Ozempic)??”
Ozempic was first approved in 2017 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an injectable drug to help ‘lower blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, in addition to diet and exercise’. Click here to know more about the drug.
