The celebrated filmmaker became a father to Yash and Roohi in 2017 through surrogacy. He has often showcased their adorable moments on social media, letting fans into his life as a parent who has deep devotion to his kids.
However, behind these glimpses lies a more serious side to his journey—one where he knows that his decision to parent independently will lead to future discussions with his children.
During the YouTube session, Johar emphasized that, as a single parent, he carries a unique responsibility to provide honest answers when the time comes. “Being a single parent, I know I am answerable to my children about so many aspects,” he explained.
