Ashish Chanchlani appeared on Shan Prasher’s Honestly Saying podcast in November 2024. During the conversation, the duo indulged in candid conversations about a spectrum of topics, from Ashish’s weight loss journey, Govinda’s comeback, and religious and political jokes, among others. However, there was one particular comment by the host, Shan, that caught the netizens’ attention.
Ashish Chanchlani shares about his weight loss journey
Ashish Chanchlani’s weight loss journey amazed everyone. The YouTuber went through a drastic transformation and shed over 40 kgs. While on his appearance on Shah Prasher’s podcast, he was talking about how his weight affected his mental state and what triggered him to make the change. During the conversation, Ashish revealed how, despite the weight loss, he found it hard to believe when someone told him that he looked good.
Shan Prasher criticises an influencer for using ‘body positivity’ as a tool to gain views
In the same conversation, Ashish Chanchlani stated that the weight loss hadn’t changed the way he used to feel about himself or how he looked down on himself. However, it was when he shared how unhealthy the repercussions of being overweight can be when Shan Prasher revealed that there are influencers who have used ‘body positivity’ to gain views. Without naming anyone, he added that there was an influencer who endorsed body positivity while she was fat herself. He stated:
“The worst part is, maine toh dekha hai influencers ke saath kya hota hai. Bohot saari influencers aaise hai. Mai naam nahi lunga, ek top influencer vo saari zindagi apni moti rahi. Jab tak vo moti rahi, tab vo influencing kar rahi thi ab vo OTT kar rahi hai. Jab tak vo influencing kar rahi thi I knew her aur vo merese fat loss tips bhi leti rehti thi, I have seen her battle with fat loss, she was never serious. And throughout the time she was not serious she was making content on body positivity, telling other fat girls ki theek hai, its okay to be fat.”
However, once she became famous and was cast in OTT shows, she underwent drastic weight loss and has since stopped talking about it. Shan stressed that although she had stopped promoting ‘body positivity’ now, many young girls were influenced by her, and they don’t understand how much they are making their bodies suffer. Talking to Ashish, Shan was quoted as saying:
“But then she starts getting roles in Bollywood and OTT shows, and she drastically loses weight. Matlab 180 turn theek hai aur now there is no body positivity on her account. She does not talk about it but when you were at the peak of influencing young girls you were telling young girls its okay to be fat and now…ye toh phir paise ke liye ho gaya na. And this is why I do not understand ki tum galat cheezon ko promote mat karo. Motapa galat cheez hai, your body is suffering.”
