People have been speculating about the possible reasons behind Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's drastic weight loss. However, journalist Imtiaz Chandio has revealed the cause.

 

Citing a source from Bilawal House, Chandio took to X (formerly Twitter) and disclosed that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is using insulin after being recently diagnosed with diabetes. He added that the Chairman PPP's weight loss is a result of using insulin.

 

“Bilawal Bhutto Sahib [Chairman PPP] has not lost weight on his own. Rather, he has been diagnosed with diabetes. His weight has decreased due to the use of insulin. May Allah grant them good health,” the journalist wrote on X while sharing the Chairman PPP photo.

 

 

Diabetes is a long-term condition caused by excess glucose, a type of sugar, in the blood. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is far more common than Type 1.

 

Recently, Bhutto's weight loss became a topic of widespread discussion among social media users, with some even comparing him to Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor.

 

In January 2025, during his appearance at the wedding of Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah’s daughter, netizens first noticed Chairman PPP's physical transformation and praised his fitness.

 

An X user, while sharing a latest picture of Bhutto, wrote, “Bilawal lost so much weight. Future PM Bilawal Bhutto is literally looking more handsome than Ranbir Kapoor.”

 

“Mashaallah! Our boy is way more handsome than Bollywood actors, so please stop comparing him with Ranbir Kapoor,” another user commented while complimenting Chairman PPP's stunning look.

 

One wrote that Bilawal is gearing up for the next Prime Minister with a heroic look.

 

Some netizens, however, opined that Bhutto underwent surgery to achieve such physical transformation.

 

A netizen wrote, “Diabetes SE itna jaldi wazan Kam ni hota is NE bariatric surgery karwai ho gi jis ma stomach Ka size Kam Kia JATA hy us SE Boht jaldi wazan Kam ho JATA hy. (Diabetes alone doesn’t lead to such rapid weight loss. He must have undergone bariatric surgery, which reduces the size of the stomach, resulting in significant and quick weight loss).”
