Mumbai: A recent photo of filmmaker Karan Johar looking weak and feeble, shared by comedian Samay Raina on social media, sparked concerns about his health.
Addressing those concerns, Karan said he is doing perfectly fine.
“Internet pe toh logon ne mujhe maara hi dala tha. Unhone kaha ki yeh kya hogaya hai, yeh kaunsi beemari paal raha hai Karan. Toh main un sab se kehna chahta hun, meri sehat bilkul theek hain. Main bhut khush hun infact I have never felt lighter on my feet (People on the internet have already declared me dead. They started speculating that I am suffering from some illness. So, I want to say that I am doing perfectly fine. I am very happy after losing weight),” Karan said during the trailer launch of ‘Dhadak 2’.
“There’s only one reason for the weight loss: I’ve adopted many things to improve my wellness in life. Toh main zinda hun aur zinda rahunga. Pehle main netizen jo keh rahe hain, unse kahunga ki main bhut saal jeena chahta hun specially for my kids. Sabke liye mere andar bhut saari kahaniyan baaki hain, unhe darshana baaki hai abhi (So I am alive, and I will continue to live. First, I want to tell all the netizens saying things—I want to live for many more years, especially for my kids. I still have many stories left within me to show the world),” he added.
After seeing Karan’s drastic physical transformation, there was speculation whether he was using the weight-loss drug, Ozempic.
However, Karan denied using Ozempic, and stated that he followed a strict diet to shed extra kilos.
Bankrolled by Dharma Productions, ‘Dhadak 2’ is a sequel to Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter’s ‘Dhadak.’
‘Dhadak 2’ stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in lead roles, and is scheduled to hit theatres on August 1.
