Filmmaker Karan Johar has finally addressed the question that’s been swirling across social media for months—how did he achieve his striking weight loss transformation? Speaking on the green carpet of the IIFA Digital Awards in Jaipur on Saturday night, the director put speculation to rest with a simple yet inspiring answer: “It’s being healthy.”
Johar’s dramatic physical change has sparked widespread curiosity online, with fans and followers marveling at his slimmer frame. While some expressed concern for his well-being, others flooded platforms with admiration for his journey. Dressed impeccably as always, the filmmaker smiled as reporters pressed him for the secret behind his new look. “It’s being healthy. Eating well, exercising, and doing your best to look good,” he shared candidly.
When asked to elaborate on his fitness routine, Johar playfully dodged the question, saying, “If I do that, I’ll give my secret away.” The 52-year-old, a prominent figure in Bollywood, has long been open about his struggles with obesity, making his transformation all the more inspiring.
Known for iconic films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, My Name is Khan, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, and the recent Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Johar continues to captivate audiences both on and off the screen. As he prepares to co-host the IIFA Awards 2025 with Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan on Sunday, his journey serves as a reminder that health and determination can redefine any narrative.
