Karan Johar becomes a father
05 Mar 2017
  • Bollywood director Karan Johar has become a father through surrogacy.
  • Reports suggest that Karan became a father to twins, a boy and girl, who were born in Masrani Hospital in Andheri, Mumbai, in February. However, the births were registered with the public health department on 3rd March.
  • While Karan is registered as the father, there is no mention of the mother.

  • Named after his mum and dad
    FACT
    The kids have been named Yash (after Karan's father) and Roohi (a rearrangement of Karan's mother's name Hiroo). In his biography Karan had written, "I don't know what I'm going to do about it but I feel like I would like to be a parent."

    What is surrogacy?
    FACT
    Broadly speaking, surrogacy is when another woman (surrogate mother), through artificial insemination, gives birth to a baby for a couple/person who wants to have a child. Surrogate mothers receive medical, nutritional and overall healthcare through surrogacy agreements.
