New Delhi, April 18 – Renowned filmmaker Karan Johar has dismissed rumors suggesting that he used weight-loss medication to achieve his recent physical transformation. Johar, known for his candid demeanor and distinctive style, clarified that his new look is the result of rigorous exercise and lifestyle changes rather than any medicinal aid.
As per agency report, the speculation around Johar’s weight loss gained traction after his recent public appearances showed a noticeably slimmer frame, sparking online debate over whether he had relied on weight-loss drugs. Addressing these claims during an Instagram Live session on Thursday, the director firmly denied any such usage and stated that his transformation came through effort and consistency.
Johar emphasized that the process was demanding and that he achieved it in a healthy manner. He mentioned feeling healthier, more refreshed, and re-energized, ready to take on new projects with renewed enthusiasm. According to Johar, he began his fitness journey after learning that his blood parameters required attention. Since then, he has adopted a disciplined routine that includes eating only once a day, regular paddleball sessions, and swimming.
Earlier this year, during an appearance at the IIFA Digital Awards, Johar was asked about his weight loss and responded that it was about living a healthy life, which involved eating right, exercising regularly, and doing everything possible to feel good. When pressed for specifics about his routine, he declined to elaborate, saying that revealing it would mean giving away his secret.
The rumors surrounding Johar’s weight loss initially surfaced last year when he appeared in public with a noticeably leaner look. These speculations intensified following his recent outings. Many fans and followers assumed that the transformation was due to weight-loss medication. However, Johar’s recent statement aims to set the record straight, attributing his change to self-discipline and hard work.
