Reacting to a compliment about his looks from a reporter during an interaction with the media, Karan cleared the air on his health and said, "Internet pe toh logon ne mujhe maara hi dala tha. Unhone kaha ki yeh kya hogaya hai, yeh kaunsi beemari paal raha hai Karan. Toh main un sab se kehna chahta hun, meri sehat bilkul theek hain. Main bhut khush hun infact I have never felt lighter on my feet (People on the internet have already declared me dead. They said, "What has happened to him? What kind of illness is Karan carrying?" So I want to tell all of them—my health is absolutely fine. I'm very happy. In fact, I've never felt lighter on my feet)."

Since Karan has lost a significant amount of weight, there were speculations about him using the weight-loss drug Ozempic to achieve this transformation. However, the filmmaker has repeatedly denied using it and revealed that the change was due to lifestyle modifications.
