Karan even tagged Maheep Kapoor and asked,“Did you mean me???”
The film director posted this while sharing a screenshot of an X post that read,“Maheep [Maheep Kapoor] rightly called out people for using Ozempic for fast weight loss and driving it out of stock for people with diabetes. Hope she calls out Karan Johar too, the producer of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives.”

The X user was reportedly referring to Maheep's comment on the Netflix show Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. She had criticised people for using Ozempic for weight loss, leading to a shortage of diabetic patients who rely on the drug.
As Maheep Kapoor reposted Karan Johar's story, Johar reacted again saying,“You're laughing? I am offended”.

According to a report , Ozempic is not approved for weight loss, but some physicians prescribe it to be used for weight loss.“Ozempic® is not FDA approved for weight loss or chronic weight management,” the Ozempic website says.
“People respond to medicines differently. That's why it is important to talk to your health care professional about any questions you may have about your treatment plan,” the website says.
