Salman Khan's brother Sohail Khan was accused of taking weight-loss drugs following his recent public appearances. In Alliance, he told Salman Khan about losing 12 kg during his time on the show.
Actor Sohail Khan recently went viral on social media over his drastic weight loss. In his recent appearances, he looked visibly leaner than before, leaving netizens worried about his health. A section of people also accused him of using GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. Breaking his silence, Khan has finally reacted to the allegations.
Sohail Khan reveals health issues
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Sohail Khan said that he has not been on any weight-loss drugs. He shared that his health deteriorated recently, which made him control his diet. "I got a bit claustrophobic in the first few days, as it was my first time being a part of a reality show. A stomach bug added to that in the first week itself of entering the house. I must tell you, the love and concern, not only about my health, but at any given time by contestants, made me stay in for five weeks, though I was unwell in the first itself," Khan said.
On Ozempic allegations
Khan, who is Salman Khan's brother, added that he didn't use any weight loss drug but only controlled his food intake. “I just needed to control what I was eating as I wanted to be a part of the challenges and be around the new family and friends that I made till the last day, and now for a lifetime. So no Ozempic, no fat burners, I’m only taking pure and loads of love and affection from everyone," he said.
