Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar has finally addressed the widespread speculation regarding his recent weight loss transformation.

“I’ve Lost My Weight the Right Way,” Says Johar

In the live session, Karan Johar said,

“That’s a lot of work, and it’s not medication like the rumour suggests. I want to tell you I am in the pink of health. I’ve never felt happier, lighter on my feet. I’ve lost my weight the right way.”

The filmmaker added that he wakes up with a “spring in his step” and feels a renewed sense of energy and motivation in his daily life.

The Journey Started With a Health Realization
