Here's what exactly happened
Khan said to Johar, "Bahaut alag lag rahe ho," to which he replied, "Zyada exercise karne laga hoon." Khan asked if he was "planning to go for Ozempic" and then quickly corrected himself and said, "Ahh Olympics." Johar then took a dig at SRK's controversy with the former Mumbai Zonal Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau, Sameer Wankhede. He said, "Haan Wankhede mein hai Olympics. Aaoge?" Notably, the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is among the most popular in India.

In interviews after his weight loss, Johar has repeatedly denied using Ozempic or any similar drugs. He has attributed his transformation to health reasons, medical changes, and lifestyle discipline. He earlier said, "That's a lot of work, and it's not medication like the rumor suggests" and stressed being "healthy, eating well, and exercising."
