Karan is an extremely emotional person and he values relationships above all, be it family or friends. Earlier, before the birth of Yash and Roohi, the director had talked about the wish of being a parent and had said, “I don't know what I'm going to do about it but I feel like I would like to be a parent. I don't know how it's going to happen but I do feel the need because I have plenty of love to offer and I'd like to take it forward. This feeling needs a release and requires a platform. And that platform could be by being a parent.” (Also Read: AR Rahman Gives Befitting Reply To Trolls Slamming His Daughter, Says 'They Are Just Over Concerned')

After the birth of Yash and Roohi, Karan didn’t shy away from talking about the journey of fatherhood. In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Karan opened about the same, and said, “My life has changed since Roohi and Yash arrived. At 44, this is my biggest blockbuster. I still haven’t realised the enormity of what’s happened. They’re only two months old. And all they do is eat, sleep, burp, wail and poop. Kabhi khushi, kabhie gham! While I stare at them in wonder. But I can’t get over the fact that they are mine.” (You May Also Like: Sidharth Malhotra Is Now Dating Tara Sutaria After Break-Up With Alia Bhatt? Details Inside)
Karan further went on to say, “It’s like a powerful switch has suddenly come on in my life, filling the emptiness in my personal space with new energy. I get teary-eyed just looking at them. It’s surreal to think of them as my daughter and son. It’s daunting even, but in a gorgeous way, when I wake up suddenly at night to remember that I have life breathing in the next room that I’m totally accountable for. My universe was Dad, Mom, and films. But now there are Roohi and Yash. My two new friends.”
Karan also talked about the time that has stayed intact in his memory, and stated, “The day they came home from the hospital is an experience that’s going to stay etched in my memory. Like the premiere of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998. It was my first film and I still remember every moment. What I wore. What I said. The day I carried Roohi and Yash home was like that. Life changing. Actually, it was a full-on K3G moment! Very dramatic.” (Don't Miss: Mohit Suri Shares The First Picture Of Newborn Baby Karrma Suri On Wife Udita Goswami's Birthday)
