Shagufta Ejaz, one of Pakistan’s most respected and seasoned actresses, has always been candid with her audience whether through her long-running TV career, her entrepreneurial ventures, or her growing digital presence. But over the past few months, her dramatic physical transformation has become a talking point far beyond her work. As images of her slimmer figure began circulating online, whispers turned into bold accusations, with many insisting she must have used Ozempic to shed the weight.
The speculation intensified not just around Shagufta but also her daughters, who faced similar scrutiny over their own weight-loss journeys. With the conversation spiraling across social media and digital platforms, the veteran actress finally chose to break her silence.
In a recent appearance on Subah Se Aagay on Hum News, Shagufta addressed the rumors head-on. Calm but firm, she stated that she did not use Ozempic or any such medication to lose weight. She also expressed her frustration over how casually certain channels and social media pages publish claims without verification. Half-jokingly but with clear exasperation, she remarked that she should be taking legal action against those who spread fabricated news about her.
Her comments then shifted to a more moral angle. Shagufta reminded viewers that Islam discourages making assumptions or passing judgments about others, especially in matters that are deeply personal. According to her, the level of interest people have shown in her weight loss borders on invasive and reflects more on society’s obsession with appearances than her own transformation.
