An emotional father

“My children were born two months premature and worryingly underweight. Like any person in this situation and on the brink of fatherhood, my heart sank.” Karan Johar, who recently turned a proud father to twins Roohi and Yash through surrogacy, has shared an emotional message saying he was terrified as he came to terms with his children's premature birth.

In a long heartfelt message that he attached in a tweet, the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director said, “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…” In the post, KJo thanked everyone for the love and support. 

"My mother and I remain eternally grateful from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and care that were given to Roohi and Yash Johar." The 44-year-old also 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." — ANI
