Yash is named after his late father Yash Johar and Roohi is an anagram of his mother Hiroo Johar’s name. In a recent conversation, Karan revealed the decision behind having the kids at 40. In a recent interview with The Week, Karan Johar said, “When I was 40, my mother asked me what my life plans were since marriage wasn’t on the cards. I told her I really wanted to have babies. She was wonderful [about it], but I was taking my time.”
“She reminded me again a year later. I only told her about it once the doctors informed me that three months of pregnancy was complete. The babies were expected in April, but they arrived in February. I had to officially announce their arrival from a flight to London once I knew a couple of newspapers were going to carry the story. I could go to the hospital only a month after,” Karan added.
On the work front, Karan Johar is yet to announce his next directorial. However, Dharma Productions has an array of line-ups in terms of films and OTT content.
