Filmmaker Karan Johar has silenced speculation about his dramatic weight loss and use of Ozempic.
Speaking at the IIFA Digital Awards last week, he dismissed rumors of using Ozempic, a diabetes drug linked to slimming. “It’s being healthy, eating well, exercising, and doing your best to look good,” Johar told the media. His witty dodge of fitness details “I’ll give my secret away” kept fans guessing but reaffirmed his focus on lifestyle changes.

Karan Johar Ozempic Rumors
In October 2024, Johar took to Instagram to clarify his journey. “Healthy eating and reinventing nutrition not Ozempic did it,” he wrote. Ozempic, or semaglutide, manages type-2 diabetes by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, curbing hunger and boosting fullness, per nutritionist Lovneet Batra. While effective, it can cause nausea and muscle loss side effects Johar sidestepped with diet and exercise.
