MUMBAI (ANI)– Karan Johar has addressed the recent speculations surrounding his noticeable weight loss, which had sparked rumors about the use of medication. The popular director, who has been turning heads with his transformation, took to Instagram to clear the air during a live #AskKJo session on April 17, just a day before the release of his film Kesari Chapter 2.

When a fan inquired about his weight loss, Johar responded, “That’s a lot of work, and it’s not medication like the rumor suggests.” He further added, “I want to tell you I am in the pink of health. I’ve never felt happier, lighter on my feet. I lost my weight the right way. I wake up with a spring in my step and feel ready to work with new zest and zeal. So, yeah, I love it.”

Johar’s transformation has been the subject of much attention, particularly with the rise in discussions around weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. Rumors began circulating after his close friend Maheep Kapoor criticized the use of such drugs on the Netflix show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. However, Johar emphasized that his weight loss was achieved through healthy diet choices and consistent exercise.

Earlier this year, during the IIFA event, Johar shared his fitness journey, “It’s about being healthy, eating well, exercising, and just doing your best to look good,” he said.
