Stand-up comedian and content creator Aishwarya Mohanraj has publicly shared details of her 20-kilogram weight loss over six months, opening up about the medical, emotional, and personal challenges behind her transformation. The 31-year-old addressed widespread speculation in a YouTube video released on February 6, explaining that her journey was shaped by health conditions rather than conventional fitness routines alone.
Mohanjraj had earlier documented parts of her fitness efforts on Instagram, posting about diet discipline, daily steps, and workouts. However, after a brief hiatus due to a physical injury, her return to social media revealed a visibly slimmer appearance, prompting questions from followers. In her video, she clarified that while she initially tried traditional weight-loss methods, they were not effective for her body in the long term.
She explained that in early 2021, she weighed around 51 kg but gained nearly 20 kg within six months. Medical evaluations later confirmed she had polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) and hypothyroidism, both of which run in her family and complicate weight management. Initial treatment included thyroid medication and birth control pills, which she discontinued due to adverse mood effects, before being prescribed metformin for insulin resistance linked to PCOD.

Alongside physical health issues, Mohanraj also spoke about being diagnosed with clinical depression, describing a period marked by severe body image issues and withdrawal from online platforms. Despite hiring a trainer and nutritionist in early 2025, her weight plateaued, and further complications such as plantar fasciitis and high uric acid levels forced her to pause exercise altogether.
Her progress resumed after doctors prescribed Mounjaro, a medication used for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. She reported losing approximately 20 kg over six months while also experiencing side effects such as nausea, hair loss, and significant financial cost. Reflecting on public pressure to lose weight “naturally,” Mohanraj emphasized the importance of medical guidance, urging others to seek professional help rather than online validation.
