For context, in 2017 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Ozempic. It was approved as an injectable drug to help ‘lower blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes, in addition to diet and exercise’. Subsequently, the drug gained popularity as a weight loss medication.

Recently, after Karan Johar appeared leaner and pale in some of his public appearances, several netizens suspected him of using Ozempic. However, the filmmaker has now clarified that his weight loss is a result of his healthy choices.
