Filmmaker credits fitness and diet for transformation, dismisses rumors at IIFA 2025
Jaipur, March 9 – Karan Johar has set the record straight on speculations surrounding his dramatic weight loss, emphasizing that it is the result of a healthy lifestyle, not medication. As the filmmaker’s leaner appearance grabbed attention at the silver jubilee celebrations of IIFA 2025, rumors swirled that he had used diabetes medication Ozempic for weight loss.
During a media interaction on the IIFA green carpet, Karan confidently debunked the claims.
“It’s about being healthy, eating well, exercising, and just doing your best to look good.”
When asked about his daily fitness routine, the ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani’ director wittily declined to reveal his regimen.
“My routine? If I tell you, I will give my secret away.”
Speculations about Karan using Ozempic began after actress Maheep Kapoor criticized people relying on the drug for weight loss. However, Karan had earlier clarified via an Instagram story (now unavailable) that his transformation was solely due to dedication to health and fitness.
Karan Johar’s Upcoming Projects
Apart from making headlines for his weight loss, Karan Johar remains busy with multiple projects. He is set to produce a high-octane action film directed by Haneef Adeni, the filmmaker behind the Malayalam hit ‘Marco’. The film, currently untitled, will be released in Hindi and multiple languages.
