The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra: Ozempic, Mounjaro or lifestyle change? The debate goes on
The rising popularity of these medicines for weight loss, originally meant for diabetic patients, has come as a bouncer.
Celebs, meanwhile, deny using any quick fix to lose weight — and it is this denial which Sonal Kalra, Chief Managing Editor, Entertainment & Lifestyle, Hindustan Times, explores in the hero segment of her show, MiPhi presents The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra.
Episode 3 dropped on Friday across the YouTube channels of Hindustan Times, Live Hindustan and Livemint and delved deep into everything: how Ozempic and Mounjaro work, celebs who have allegedly used them for losing weight, both from Hollywood and the Indian film industry, and reasons why almost everyone denies using this.
X owner Elon Musk and actor Amy Schumer are among the rare ones who have accepted that they indeed used the two medicines for looking thin. The Right Angle team doesn't just lay facts before the viewer, but also gets actor Ram Kapoor on record to express why he feels someone taking Ozempic isn't wrong. At the end of the episode, you will get a complete lowdown on the latest fad.

You don't understand because you are not that age. So that happened many times. People try to humiliate you. I was once doing a film with a very big South star. And in some scenes, I had to say that I cannot do this. I am not comfortable with this. There was something in that scene with which I was not comfortable. I said that I am not comfortable doing this scene. Then the star said, 'Change the heroine'," she recalled. Despite the tension on set, the actor involved later approached Tamannaah to apologise. The next day, he admitted his behavior had been driven by anger and offered a sincere apology. This act of contrition, though unexpected, helped mend the situation to some extent. But the experience left her with a lasting lesson about power dynamics in the film also took the opportunity to clear the air regarding earlier rumours linking her romantically with Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. The speculation had emerged after the two appeared together in a commercial. Putting the record straight, she clarified that their interaction was strictly professional and lasted just a single day.
