On Saturday, news reports started doing the rounds that Karan Johar had become a father to twins. A leading Mumbai daily had got a confirmation from BMC about the birth of the twins, as it was registered.
Now, in a statement, Johar 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."
Johar further 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. My work, travels and social commitments would have to take a back seat and I am prepared for that. 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."
He says he is eternally grateful to the surrogate who has fulfilled his lifelong dream and provided a warm, loving and nurturing environment to his children before bringing them into this world. "She will always remain in my prayers."
He also thanked Dr. Jatin Shah for his guidance and support and for being like a family member throughout the journey.
Last year, actor Tusshar Kapoor had become a father through surrogacy.
