Celebrities often undergo rapid weight gain and loss, usually under the supervision of experts. Sometimes, they are put on strict diet regimens. NTR is one of those celebrities whose weight has fluctuated multiple times throughout his career. The first time he lost weight was for Yama Donga. Later, he gained weight again, with fluctuations depending on the roles he portrayed on screen. But now, his recent weight loss has sparked a controversial discussion on social media.
What National Media Is Reporting:
When NTR was spotted at the MAD Square success meet and the pre-release event of Arjun S/o Vyjayanthi, people noticed that he had lost a lot of weight and looked extremely slim. Now, several national media outlets are raising questions about whether NTR is using the Ozempic injection for weight management.
Since last night, both national and regional media outlets have been reporting on NTR’s apparent transformation. A picture of the actor surfaced online, where he is seen posing with hotel staff members. In the photo, NTR appears much leaner than he did recently. This has led to speculation about whether he’s following a diet or using Ozempic injections. These reports also cite a few social media users who raised similar concerns. However, the same reports clarify that NTR’s close team has denied the rumors regarding his use of Ozempic.
What Is Ozempic? Why It’s Trending Now in Telugu States
Ozempic (Semaglutide) is an FDA-approved medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by helping regulate blood sugar levels, slowing digestion, and increasing insulin production. However, in recent years, it has gained attention for its secondary effect — weight loss. Though the FDA hasn’t officially approved Ozempic for weight management, some doctors have been prescribing it “off-label” for that purpose, especially in cases where obesity presents health risks.
Fans and netizens were quick to speculate about NTR transformation, with many wondering if Ozempic played a role. As discussions around his weight loss intensified, the term “Ozempic” began trending on social media platforms in Telugu states.
NTR’s Team Clarifies:
NTR’s team recently indicated that his weight loss is intentional, as he will be sporting a leaner look for Prashanth Neel’s upcoming film. They assured fans that there’s no hidden reason behind the transformation. Amidst these swirling rumors, it would be reassuring for fans and well-wishers if NTR himself addressed the speculation, especially since weight loss injections can sometimes have serious side effects.
Earlier, when Kalyan Ram was asked about NTR’s transformation, he stated that NTR is simply preparing for his role in Prashanth Neel’s next film, which is set to begin production soon.
On a related note, the shoot for the NTR-Prashanth Neel project is scheduled to begin on the 22nd of April, with NTR actively participating.
