Stand-up comedian and content creator Aishwarya Mohanraj has revealed that she used the prescription medication Mounjaro for rapid weight loss, after years of struggling with weight gain linked to hormonal and mental health conditions. Mohanraj said her weight rose from about 51 kg to nearly 70 kg within six months in early 2021. She eventually began treatment with Mounjaro, a medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes and also prescribed for chronic weight management. In these 6 months, my weight reduced from 74 kilograms to 52 kilograms. Last year, filmmaker Hansal Mehta had revealed that he had begun taking Mounjaro (tirzepatide) under medical supervision to manage rising blood sugar levels and weight.
