Filmmaker Karan Johar is known for his blockbuster movies and bold fashion choices. But recently, the director made headlines for something very different—his drastic weight loss. Fans and followers started talking, with many speculating that Karan was using a weight loss drug called Ozempic.
Ozempic, a medicine originally meant for diabetes, has become quite popular in recent months for helping people lose weight quickly. After Karan’s recent public appearances showed his slimmed-down look, social media buzzed with rumours about him using the drug.
But now, the “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” director has spoken up. During an Instagram Live session ahead of the release of his upcoming film Kesari 2, Karan addressed the questions about his health and weight loss. He chose not to name Ozempic directly but gave a clear message—his transformation has nothing to do with medication.
“That’s a lot of work, and it’s not medication like the rumour suggests. I’m in the pink of my health. I’ve never been better,” Karan said during the live chat.
The filmmaker shared that his journey started when he discovered that his blood levels were not ideal. He realised that he needed to make serious lifestyle changes to stay healthy. “It started with me discovering… that I needed to correct my blood levels,” he added.
Karan Johar explained that his weight loss was done the “right way” through hard work and discipline. He did not rely on shortcuts or magic pills. Instead, he embraced a new and healthier routine that included better eating habits and regular physical activity.
One of the biggest changes he made was switching to the OMAD diet—One Meal A Day. He explained that eating just one proper meal in a day helped him maintain his energy levels while managing his weight effectively. Along with this, he added swimming and workouts to his daily routine.
“I feel ready to work with new zest and zeal. So, yeah, I love it,” Karan said, clearly proud of his progress.
The topic of Ozempic has become more popular in Bollywood ever since Maheep Kapoor mentioned it on the Netflix show “Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives”. Maheep spoke critically about the growing trend of using weight loss drugs in the film industry. Her comments sparked debates online, with fans wondering who among the stars might be using it.
Karan Johar’s response seems to put an end to the rumours about him. His message is clear—he worked hard, stayed committed, and made smart health choices to reach where he is today. Rather than using shortcuts, he focused on fitness, diet, and discipline.
His transformation is not only physical but also mental. The filmmaker now feels more focused, active, and passionate about his work. His fans are happy to see him doing well, and his positive attitude is inspiring many.
With his upcoming film “Kesari 2” releasing soon, Karan Johar seems all set to deliver another hit while looking and feeling better than ever.
