Karan Johar on Sunday announced that he has become a father to twins via surrogacy. The daughter has been named Roohi which is a rearrangement of Karan’s mother’s name Hiroo and the son has been named Yash which is Karan’s late father’s name.
In a statement, Karan said: “I am ecstatic to share with you all the two most wonderful additions to my life, my children and lifelines; Roohi and Yash.
“I feel enormously blessed to be a parent to these pieces of my heart who were welcomed into this world with the help of the marvels of medical science.”
He further went on and said that “it was an emotional yet well thought out decision which I have taken after considering all the responsibilities and duties that come with being a parent.”
“In order to arrive at this decision, I have prepared myself mentally, physically, emotionally and logistically to ensure that my children get all the unconditional love, care and attention from me and mine. I have submitted to the fact that my children are my world and priority.”
“I am prepared for that”, Karan said, adding: “By the grace of God, I have the most caring and supportive mother who will be an integral part in the up-bringing of her grandchildren and of course, friends who are family.”
Karan also expressed how grateful he is to the surrogate who “fulfilled my lifelong dream and provided a warm, loving and nurturing environment to my children before bringing them into this world.” “She will always remain in my prayers”.
