Shah Rukh Khan’s Playful Jab at Karan Johar and His Witty Response
During the 70th Filmfare Awards, Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar exchanged some light-hearted banter about ‘Ozempic’ and more.
At a recent awards ceremony in Ahmedabad, the atmosphere turned playful when Shah Rukh Khan made a humorous remark aimed at co-host Karan Johar. He teased Karan about his notable weight loss and playfully mentioned the weight loss medication ‘Ozempic’. Karan was quick with a witty response that added to the fun on stage.
In response to Khan’s comment, Karan cleverly referenced ‘Wankhede’, touching on recent news involving Sameer Wankhede, a former Narcotics Control Bureau official in the spotlight due to a lawsuit linked to Shah Rukh’s son Aryan Khan.
Shah Rukh playfully remarked, “Bahaut alag lag rahe ho,” to which Karan replied, “Zyada exercise karne laga hoon aajkal.” SRK then quipped, “Oh, you’re working out, are you planning to go for Ozempic?” quickly correcting himself to “Ahh Olympics,” leaving Karan momentarily speechless.
Karan, known for his quick comebacks, replied, “Haan, Wankhede mein hai Olympics. Aaoge?” Following his weight loss, Karan has consistently addressed rumors about using Ozempic, affirming his transformation results from dedicated efforts, proper diet, and exercise. He emphasized, “That’s a lot of work, and it’s not medication as the rumors suggest.”
This amusing exchange at the 70th Filmfare Awards highlighted the duo’s playful approach to navigating media discussions around their lives.
