Karan Johar becomes father, introduces twins Roohi and Yash to world

Mumbai, Mar 5 (IBNS): Filmmaker Karan Johar on Sunday announced that he has become father to twins-a boy and a girl-through surrogacy.

He has introduced his children to the world as Roohi and Yash.

Johar, who has been more candid about his homosexual orientaton in recent times stopping short of an official admission, tweeted: "I am ecstatic o share with you all the two most wonderful additions to my life, my children and lifelines; Roohi and Yash."

He wrote: "I feel enormously blessed to be a parent to these two pieces of my heart who were welcomed into this world with the help of the marvels of medical science."

According to media reports, the children were born last month at Masrani Hospital in Mumbai where actor Shah Rukh Khan's third child AbRam was delivered by a surrogate mother.

"This was an emotional yet a well thought out decision which I have taken after considering all the responsibilities and duties that come with being a parent," Johar posted.

The filmmaker said he has prepared himself for this "mentally, physically, emotionally and logistically."

He wrote: "My work, travel and social commitments would have to take a back seat and I am prepared for that."

Johar also noted that he has "most caring and supportive" mother who will be an integral part of the children's upbringing along with "friends who are family".

Thanking the mother, the filmmaker, who delivered several hits, said he is "eternally grateful to the surrogate who has fulfilled my lifelong dream."
