Karan Johar Opens Up About Yash & Roohi’s Premature Birth, Says, ‘He Was Terrified’
Filmmaker Karan Johar pens a letter talking about premature birth of his babies, Yash and Roohi Johar; thanks everyone for the love and care given to the twins
Karan Johar recently became a proud father to twins – Yash and Roohi. The filmmaker had been contemplating fatherhood for long and finally decided to go for it. However, the babies were born premature and were kept under close observation.
A few minutes ago, Karan took to social media to share a moving message about the turmoil he underwent as the father and the care that needs to be given to premature babies.
He says, “...My children were born two months premature and worryingly underweight. Like any other person in this situation and on the brink of fatherhood, my heart sank.”
“Knowing that there were complications with my babies’ birth owing to how soon it was, I was terrified. All I wanted to do was hold them and protect them but they needed to be in the NICU. It was painful to see how tiny they were...” he goes on.
Addressing the issue of premature birth, he said, “As someone with a voice, I want to reach out. Million of preemies are born every year...but babies are resilient. With the right kind of care, they stand just as good a chance of survival as anybody else.”
He thanked his medical team for their help during those difficult months. “Thankfully, I had a great support system. Roohi and Yash were in the hands of the most competent and patient doctors. Something that had its roots in an ordeal soon turned into an experience that I will never forget.”
In a series of tweets, KJo also thanked his legal team for making surrogacy happen. He wrote, “Through the months before the birth of my children Roohi and Yash…my strong legal team gave me unconditional love, support and counselling. The medical and legal team are the spine and strength…and my children and I will remain forever indebted. I remain eternally grateful to my legal team…@mrunaleshmukh9 @devdesh @gauravradhika..for their advice…strength and support (sic).”
Recently, at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai, Karan Johar opened up about his personal and professional life. However, the most talked about point were his newly born twins. When asked about who the mother of the babies were, Karan candidly said that he is more of a mother than a father to his kids.

"Seeing them (the twins) and holding them; it was one of the most surreal and overwhelming experiences of my life. I'm the mother of my children. I am a bonafied mother of my children. I'm proud to be one. I am more a mother than a father. My desire to have children was because of the deep sense of nurturing I have, I want to channel the love within me into parenting. The vacuum within me has been filled by my children." said KJo.
