Karan is not just a superb filmmaker but also a doting father to his twins, Yash and Roohi. It was in 2017 when Karan had announced the arrival of his little munchkins through surrogacy. Since the birth of his kids, Karan has been on cloud nine and has been sharing adorable pictures of their family time. Often busy with his work commitments, Karan, who rarely got time with his family is making most of the lockdown and spending quality time with Yash and Roohi. In his lockdown series, Karan, who has been trolled by his kids continuously, hits back this time.
On April 12, 2020, Karan took to his Instagram handle and shared a video of their family evening snack time. In the video, Yash was seen making fun of his sister, Roohi instead of ‘dada’, Karan. Yash pointing at Roohi’s hairband says that she is wearing a garden on her head. Karan then shifts the focus of the camera to his mother, Hiroo and asks Roohi whether she likes what mama is wearing and pat comes the reply ‘yes’. To Roohi’s reply, Karan hits back, “Well obviously, look at what you are wearing.” Along with the video, Karan wrote, “My turn to get back! #lockdownwiththejohars.”
In an interview with the Pinkvilla, Karan had shared that he is living the best phase of his life. He had stated, “I am in a very content phase of life. Actually no, content would be a wrong word. It would mean I am satisfied or when you get too comfortable. But I believe I am in a very exciting phase. I am very energized. I am also in a deeply emotional zone in my life and I mean it with the birth of my children who've really come like a sunshine. Just waking after them and watching them sleep at night are the two highlights of my day. They have changed the whole aura around me. Whether it's the company or the house, we have renewed energies now because of the babies.” (Also Read: Dimpy Ganguly Welcomes Her Second Child On The Eve Of Easter, Reveals The Name Of Her Baby)
On March 8, 2018, i.e. International Women’s Day, Karan Johar had shared a heartfelt message wishing to raise Roohi just like her grandmother. He had said, “I was raised by a woman who had a strong mind, an independent mind and a solid soul. She taught me how to live a fearless life along with a strong sense of right and wrong! She also taught me the art of abandon! She made me the man I am, a man who is honoured to be raised by a woman of substance! Roohi my darling I hope I raise you to be just like your grandmother.”
