The speculation reached a fever pitch after Maheep Kapoor made comments on Fabulous Lives vs. Bollywood Wives about people using diabetes medication for vanity. Since Karan is the producer of the show and had recently debuted a much slimmer frame, fans immediately connected the dots.
However, Karan has firmly denied using Ozempic or any similar chemical substances. In recent interviews and podcast appearances, he clarified that his transformation wasn’t the result of a “magic pill” but a rigorous lifestyle overhaul. He even joked that if he were on the drug, he would have “monetized it” by now.
Karan revealed that the real driver behind his 20 kg weight loss was a mix of medical necessity and extreme discipline. Karan adopted the One Meal A Day (OMAD) routine. This is an intense form of intermittent fasting where he consumes his entire day’s worth of nutrition in a single window.
A major turning point came when he discovered his thyroid levels were “all over the place.” By starting thyroid medication and correcting his blood levels, he was finally able to see results that years of previous dieting hadn’t achieved.
He has completely eliminated sugar, gluten, and lactose from his diet. He now swaps traditional dairy for almond milk and focuses on “clean” foods like rice and potatoes, which he calls his “friends.” Beyond just eating habits, he has incorporated swimming and paddleball into his daily routine to maintain his energy levels.
What makes Karan’s recent honesty so relatable is his vulnerability regarding body dysmorphia. He admitted that even after losing significant weight, he still struggles to look at himself in the mirror. He recalled the “trauma” of being called “fat and large” by his own mother, Hiroo Johar, during his youth—a stark contrast to his father, Yash Johar, who was “in delusion land” believing his son just had puppy fat.
Karan’s story serves as a reminder that even for those with every resource at their disposal, there is no substitute for understanding one’s own biology and putting in the hard work. To know such updates tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
