Ashmit Patel defends Sohail Khan after trolls mock his post-weight-loss look: 'Don't you have parents who are aged?'

Ashmit Patel urged trolls to look at Sohail Khan's Fight Club physique amid criticism for his looks post weight-loss.

Bollywood actor Sohail Khan recently participated in the reality show Alliance. Following his stint on the show, the actor hosted a success party at his residence, with photos from the celebration soon surfacing online. However, his post-weight-loss look became a topic of discussion, with some social media users trolling him and speculating that he had used Ozempic, while others commented that he looked even older than his brother Salman Khan. Now, actor Ashmit Patel, who is Alvira Khan's rakhi brother, has come to Sohail's defense and hit back at the trolls.

Ashmit Patel reacts to Sohail Khan getting trolled for his looks.

In a podcast with Hindi Rush, Ashmit Patel reacted to Sohail being trolled for his looks and said, "You guys go and watch Fight Club: Members Only. The personality and physique he carried. He is such a good human being, soft spoken. Pick any of his interviews or watch Alliance, he speaks so softly and he is an amazing person. Logon ka kaam hai bolna, voh toh bolenge hi."

Ashmit further urged the trolls to have some respect for his age and said, "Everyone will age after sometimes. Don't you have parents who are aged? This is stupidity. Sabko ek zariya mila hai social media pe apna bhadas nikalne ka (Everyone has got a platform with social media to take out their frustration). Go and find the meaning of troll and you'll know what you are actually."

In Alliance, when Salman Khan visited Sohail to support him, the actor revealed that he had lost 12 kg. As pictures from his post-Alliance party surfaced online, the internet was flooded with questions. While some fans expressed concern about Sohail's health, saying he looked "old and dull", others compared his appearance with that of his elder brothers, saying he "looks older than them". Many even speculated that he had taken supplements or Ozempic for weight loss.
