The screenshot featured a comment by an X user that read, “Maheep 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 referenced Maheep Kapoor’s comment from the Netflix show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. She criticised people for using Ozempic for weight loss, leading to shortages for diabetic patients who rely on the drug. Reacting to the accusation, Karan Johar wrote, “Being healthy and eating well and reinventing the wheel of your own nutrition! Aur Ozempic ko Mile credit ???” He also tagged Maheep and asked, “Did you mean me???”

Maheep Kapoor reshared Karan Johar’s post on her Instagram Stories, adding laughing and face-palming emojis. Re-sharing her post, Karan added, “You’re laughing? I take offense to that.

Earlier, Karan Johar expressed his excitement for Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives. He said, “Season 3 will be entertaining, emotional, and dramatic, but at its core, it’s about the many faces of friendship. If you loved the first two seasons, Season 3 will be worth the wait.”
