Director Karan Johar has once again demonstrated that no one can beat his sense of humor combined with candor. On Twinkle Khanna and Kajol’s talk show Two Much, Karan finally broke his silence on the ongoing gossip regarding his sudden weight loss — and did so with his characteristic sense of humor.
The internet has been buzzing about Karan’s makeover for months, with many congratulating his healthier appearance and others speculating that he had been using Ozempic, a diabetes medication now trending for speeding up weight loss. Putting the speculation to rest, Karan joked about the rumors at the beginning of the episode. When Twinkle jokingly referred to him about the opulent buffet arranged for him, he retorted, *”But if you read anything on the internet, they think I don’t eat because I am on chemical substances — like Ozempic!
Twinkle played along, teasing him further: “Beta, itna injection mat liya kar! Itna dubla ho gaya hai. Mummy kya bolegi?” (Son, stop taking so many injections! You’ve become so thin. What will your mother say?). Laughing, Karan replied, “Mummy bechari kuch nahi bolti aajkal.” (My poor mother doesn’t say anything these days).
As the three approached the food table, Karan appeared visibly tickled at the number of dishes laid out. “I haven’t seen so many carbs in a while,” he stammered before joyfully spotting his favorite — katsu curry. Co-guest Janhvi Kapoor chipped in as well, revealing her comfort food of preference was paya curry.
Karan’s physical make-over has been extensively debated ever since 2024, with the director attributing his fitness regime to discipline, rigorous diet, and regular exercise. Even after his explanations, the internet gossip regarding weight-loss shots never really dissipated — until his tongue-in-cheek on-air acceptance brought the buzz full circle.
The episode also included one of Karan’s signature raw moments. In a lighthearted “Truth or Lie” segment, Janhvi dared him to tell a juicy truth and a lie. Without batting an eyelid, Karan said, “I lost my virginity when I was 26 years old, and I’ve been intimately involved with a member of your family.”
The comment left Janhvi speechless and Twinkle and Kajol laughing out loud. A few seconds later, Karan explained, “I was late to that party — that part is true — but I have not been intimate with any member of your family. Though the thought has crossed my mind a couple of times!”
With his signature blend of self-deprecating humor and frank candor, Karan Johar again converted gossip into humor — demonstrating that there’s no controversy too big when dealt with a grin.
