Karan Johar's Mom Called Him 'Fat, Large,' Said He Couldn't Be a Bollywood Hero
- •Filmmaker Karan Johar, 53, lost 20 kilograms and shared his weight loss journey on The Manyavar Shaadi Show.
- •He revealed his mother, Hiroo Johar, 'fat-shamed' him, which motivated his transformation, despite his father Yash Johar's belief he could be a hero.
- •Karan Johar recounted falling ill and fainting during an Accounts class at H.R. College of Commerce while on the strict Atkins diet.
- •He clarified that he did not use Ozempic for weight loss, attributing his success to reducing gluten intake after discovering intolerances.
- •His mother banned the Atkins diet after finding out about it, despite its unusual menu of nine-egg cheese omelette and fried chicken.
Why It Matters: Karan Johar's weight loss journey was spurred by his mother's comments and involved diet changes, not Ozempic.
