Kapil Sharma has always been known for his wit and charm, but this time, it's his appearance that's making headlines. The comedian was recently spotted at Mumbai airport looking much leaner than before, and social media hasn’t stopped buzzing since.
Dressed in a simple grey co-ord set and sneakers, Kapil’s new frame didn’t go unnoticed. While some fans praised his fit look, others were taken aback by how quickly he seemed to have dropped the weight. Comments poured in, ranging from admiration to confusion, with many asking the same thing: “What’s his secret?”
The most common theory floating online? Ozempic.
Ozempic, a diabetes medication that has gained popularity for its weight loss side effects, is fast becoming Bollywood’s new buzzword. Kapil’s visible transformation led to immediate comparisons with Karan Johar, who recently stunned fans with his own weight loss. One user even commented, “First Karan, now Kapil. Is this Bollywood’s new thing?”
While there’s no confirmation on whether Kapil has used Ozempic, the speculation has reignited a larger conversation: why are so many celebrities suddenly losing weight at the same time? Some netizens believe it could be due to new film roles or personal health goals. Others are sceptical, pointing out how quickly these transformations are happening.

This isn’t Kapil’s first physical makeover either. His weight has fluctuated over the years, but this shift seems more dramatic. Fans have raised both concern and curiosity, with a few even wondering if he’s unwell.
Amid all this chatter, Kapil recently shared the poster for his upcoming film Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, where he reprises his role from the 2015 hit. Directed by Anukalp Goswami and produced by Abbas-Mustan, the sequel promises more chaos, comedy, and a twist in the tale.
For now, Kapil remains tight-lipped about what’s behind his transformation. Whether it’s lifestyle changes, professional commitments, or something else entirely, his new look has got everyone talking and guessing.
As celebrity fitness trends become more public and sometimes questionable, it’s clear that fans are watching closely not just the performances, but the people behind them too.
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
