Sohail, who recently appeared on the reality show Alliance, had hosted a success party at his home, sparking chatter over his transformed look. Some users speculated he had used Ozempic, while others said he looked older than brother Salman Khan. In a podcast with Hindi Rush, Ashmit said Sohail is a soft-spoken person and asked trolls to watch his 2006 film Fight Club: Members Only to see his earlier physique. Sohail had revealed on Alliance that he lost 12 kg. Ashmit also called the trolling stupidity, noting that everyone ages. Ashmit, who is Alvira Khan's rakhi brother, was last seen in the Gujarati film Layak Nalayakk. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Alliance, Ashmit Patel, Fight Club: Members Only, Salman Khan, Sohail Khan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ashmit-patel-defends-sohail-khan-after-trolls-mock-weightloss/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
