Karan Johar discusses his choice to have children through surrogacy
In 2017, Karan embarked on the journey of parenthood with the arrival of his twins, Yash and Roohi, born via surrogacy. Co-parenting alongside his 80-year-old mother, film producer Hiroo Johar, the Student of The Year helmer navigates the joys and challenges of raising his children.
Speaking to The Week, he disclosed his initial plans to have children at the age of 40. His mother inquired about his life plans when he reached that milestone, knowing marriage wasn't on the horizon. Karan expressed his desire to have babies, and although his mother was supportive, he took his time to decide.
He recounted the process of announcing his decision to have children through surrogacy, sharing that he could only visit the hospital a month after the official announcement.
