Have you noticed how suddenly so many of your favourite influencers, actors, and celebrities have lost weight?
Be it Karan Johar, Kusha Kapila, Ram Kapoor, or Badshah, all of them have undergone drastic weight loss, and it has gotten the internet talking.
While these celebs claim that their transformation is a result of dieting, healthy eating, and regular workouts, fans find it hard to believe how so many stars have shed kilos so quickly.
They often disappear from the internet for a while, and when they return, they’ve had a complete transformation.
Many on social media suspect the use of a drug called Ozempic.
Originally developed for diabetes patients, Ozempic works by slowing down digestion, making people feel full for longer, and reducing their appetite.
It’s now being seen as a shortcut for weight loss, and many believe that celebrities are using it.
While the drug was first used extensively by celebrities abroad, it is now available in India too, and the demand is so high that it’s going out of stock in some places.
But Ozempic isn’t as magical as it seems. It comes with serious side effects, including increased risks of cancer, heart issues, and breathing problems.
Actor Ali Fazal has even spoken out, warning people against using it irresponsibly.
Still, the pressure to lose weight remains intense, and it’s clear that being slim continues to be the peak beauty standard in Bollywood. In an interview, Orry even said that fat people can’t become stars.
These toxic beauty norms are pushing celebrities to take extreme steps to look good on camera. But at what cost?
Is rapid weight loss worth it if it could potentially cost you your life?
