Navigating Parenting Challenges and Modern Family Dynamics: Karan Johar’s Insights on Surrogacy and Single Parenthood
Recently, one of the most successful directors and a single father to the twins Yash and Roohi Johar, Karan Johar shared some interesting information about the possibilities of being a single parent. The talk show host Faye D’Souza asked Johar about it in detail, and he complied by stating that his children have started wondering about their mother, and so he had to go to the school counselor.
‘It is a modern family,’ Johar defended the couple, and for some truth, their situation could barely be defined as usual. It may, therefore, be quite perplexing, now that I am also answering questions about ‘in whose stomach was I born? but that woman is not my mumma, she is my grandmother’. I am heading to school, to the counsellor, to seek advice on how we handle it. But, it’s not always fun, being a parent isn’t easy.
Yash and Roohi, who celebrating their birthday this year and that too on the same date as well, were born through surrogacy in 2017. The children are being raised by Johar alongside his mother Hiroo Johar and in his birthday messages to them, Sawari expressed the loving dad he has become. He defined them as the “shinning sunshines” of his life characterizing them of having laughter, attitude, and limitless affection.
Even though Johar is actively involved in parenting, he has not shied to discuss the #beingaslackfather struggle and loneliness of being a single parent. However, I have two children. Of course, they are co-raised by me and my mother which negates the concept of co-partnering them so, I’m single,” he said. ‘That’s what we all do when you’re single,’ she continued, ‘You’re alone, and you don’t want to confront that feeling.’

In the matter of friendship, Johar opined that friendship and family relationships should replace romantic relationships in order to avoid loneliness in case of a separation or divorce. “Nothing can replace that,” he uttered to emphasize that in future he would strive to juggle between his job complexities and his parental responsibilities over Yash and Roohi.
