Old Interview Sparks Social Media Frenzy Over 16 Kg Weight Loss
Dilip Joshi, best known for his iconic portrayal of ‘Jethalal’ in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, recently became a hot topic on social media after claims circulated that he lost 16 kilograms in just 45 days. Fans were left stunned by his noticeably slim appearance at a public event, prompting many to search for his weight-loss secret.
“I Lost That Weight Back in 1992,” Says Dilip Joshi
When asked about his weight-loss secret during the event, Joshi clarified the rumors, saying, “I lost that weight back in 1992. I have no idea how this decades-old information is trending again.” Despite the confusion, he thanked the media and moved on, but questions about social media misinformation lingered.
Viral Posts Compare Old and New Photos
The buzz started after fans began comparing his old and recent photos online, crediting his disciplined lifestyle and healthy habits for the transformation. However, Joshi had previously shared in an old interview that he lost 16 kg by jogging daily for 45 minutes and eating clean. “I used to change clothes at the swimming club and jog from there to the Oberoi Hotel, even in the rain,” he said in that interview.
Interestingly, the character of Jethalal is portrayed as a food-loving, lazy man in the show. In reality, Dilip Joshi lives a disciplined life, maintaining strict diet and exercise routines, quite opposite to his on-screen persona.
