Ekta Kapoor, the queen of Indian television, is making headlines once again. Currently in Chennai, she took to social media to share not one, but two videos that have sparked quite the conversation. In these videos, Ekta talks about her weight and ponders whether she should opt for an anti-inflammatory diet, intermittent fasting, or even try Ozempic. Her posts have gone viral, with both celebrities and fans alike weighing in on the matter.
In her first video, Ekta captions it “Ozempic,” and in the clip, she’s heard saying, “I’m in Chennai, I have some time on my hands, so I thought, why not make a post? What should I do? I’ve put on a lot of weight. Should I go for an anti-inflammatory diet, intermittent fasting, or Ozempic? Or should I just keep my mouth shut and not do anything?” Some people are speculating that she’s taking a subtle dig at TV actor Ram Kapoor, who recently lost a significant amount of weight in a short span. Ram has denied undergoing any surgery or using Ozempic to shed those extra pounds, claiming he achieved his weight loss through healthy means. Karan Johar, too, has made similar claims about his own weight loss journey.
A Suggestion for the Actress?
Later, Ekta shared another video where she talks about advising an actress from her upcoming franchise to gain some weight. She explains that this is because the actress needs to look a certain way for the role, especially considering she’s over 30 and her metabolism might be affected by age and hormones. Ekta emphasizes the importance of being healthy, rather than starving oneself, which can lead to mental stress. She also clarifies that the franchise she’s referring to is not “Naagin 7.”
What is Ozempic?
For the uninitiated, Ozempic is a brand name for a medication called semaglutide, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It’s a prescription drug that’s usually administered via injection under the skin once a week. Ozempic helps with weight loss by reducing appetite.
These days, it seems that being slim is the trend in the industry, with Karan Johar, Kapil Sharma, and rapper Badshah being just a few examples of celebrities who have lost a significant amount of weight. Their transformations have been making headlines, leaving fans and fellow celebrities alike in awe. The conversation around weight loss and the methods people use to achieve it continues, with many sharing their own experiences and advice on social media. As Ekta Kapoor’s videos show, even in the public eye, the quest for the perfect physique is an ongoing journey, filled with considerations of health, appearance, and the constant scrutiny of the public gaze.
