Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari recently opened up about his weight-loss journey—and it turns out the truth is far simpler than the internet imagined. Currently in the United States, the former foreign minister addressed a press conference at the UN Headquarters in New York, where he spoke on recent regional developments following the military conflict with India.

For weeks, online speculation had pinned his weight loss on Ozempic—the much-hyped drug that’s become the go-to for many celebrities seeking quick results. But Bilawal put those rumors to rest, revealing he’s been sticking to a more traditional and disciplined approach.
While his advice sounds straightforward, cutting out roti and sugar is no small task—especially in a culture where both are dietary staples. Still, it’s encouraging to see a public figure opting for a healthier route rather than shortcuts. That said, giving up our beloved chai with sugar or warm rotis at lunch might take a bit more convincing. But hey, if Bilawal can do it, maybe there’s hope for the rest of us too.
