Karan Johar is the latest dad of the B-Town. He has opted for surrogacy to deliver his twins – a boy, Yash (named after his late filmmaker-father Yash Johar) and a girl, Roohi (rearrangement of his mother’s name Hiroo).

As per the reports, the babies were delivered last month at Mumbai’s Masrani Hospital. While, birth registrations were done last week that mentioned Karan as the father, keeping mother’s name blank as the birth is through surrogacy.

The director confirmed the news by releasing a press statement that reads:

“I am ecstatic to share with you all the two most wonderful additions to my life, my children and lifelines: Roohi and Yash. I feel enormously blessed to be a parent to these pieces of my heart who were welcomed into this world with the help of the marvels of medical science. This was an emotional yet well thought out decision which I have taken after considering all the responsibilities and duties that come with being a parent. In order to arrive at this decision, I have prepared myself mentally, physically, emotionally and logistically to ensure that my children get all the unconditional love, care and attention from me and mine. I have submitted to the fact that my children are my world and priority. My work, travels and social commitments would have to take a back seat and I am prepared for that. By the grace of God, I have the most caring and supportive mother who will be an integral part in the up-bringing of her grandchildren and of course, friends who are family. I am eternally grateful to the surrogate who has fulfilled my lifelong dream and provided a warm, loving and nurturing environment to my children before bringing them into this world. She will always remain in my prayers. Finally, a big thank you to Dr. Jatin Shah for his guidance and support and for being like a family member through this wonderful and exciting journey.”

Best wishes to Karan for this new phase of his life. While, other Bollywood celebs to opted for surrogacy are – Shahrukh (for his son Abram), Aamir Khan (for Azad Rao Khan) and Tusshar Kapoor (for Laksshya).
