Comedian and content creator Tanmay Bhat is once again the talk of the town—this time not for his punchlines, but his jaw-dropping physical transformation. On Thursday, the former AIB member took to Instagram to share photos from his London vacation, but it wasn’t just the scenic city views grabbing attention. Fans were left stunned by Tanmay’s visibly leaner physique, sparking a flood of reactions online.


Captioning his post “B̶a̶n̶d̶r̶a̶ W̶e̶s̶t̶ London dump,” Tanmay shared a series of candid moments from the UK capital. From strolling through city streets to sampling decadent desserts at local eateries, the comedian looked confident and noticeably slimmer—prompting fans to shower him with admiration.

Comments on the post quickly spiralled into a celebration of his transformation. “TANMAY BHAT turned into tnmy bht,” one user quipped, referencing the comedian’s now more compact frame. Others chimed in with compliments like “You are looking tooo good” and “Congratulations on your weight loss. You look great.”

But perhaps the most viral aspect of the conversation was the surprising celebrity comparison—many felt that Tanmay now bears a striking resemblance to filmmaker Karan Johar. “Tanmay giving me Karan Johar vibes,” one user noted. Another added, “You look like a funny version of Karan Johar,” while one hilarious comment dubbed the transformation “Karanjoharification of Tanmay,” a phrase that quickly gained traction across platforms.

This isn't the first time Tanmay's weight loss has made headlines. Last year, it was revealed that he had shed over 50 kilograms—a journey he discussed candidly in an interview shared by fitness coach Abhi Rajput. In it, Tanmay emphasized prioritizing health above all, revealing he dedicates two uninterrupted hours daily to gym workouts and playing badminton.

Tanmay’s journey has inspired many, especially those who’ve followed him since his early AIB days. From sketch comedy to startup ventures and now fitness, the multi-hyphenate has consistently reinvented himself.
