Karan Johar to his children’s questions

In one of the episodes of the show, actor Neelam Kothari spoke about her divorce from Rishi Sethia and her daughter, whom she adopted with her second husband, actor Samir Soni. Reacting to her candid statement, Karan Johar said, “I was really moved because I remember those days so clearly. I really teared up, I really connected with her on an emotional level. You talked about your daughter and that’s also something that hit me. My constant fear is that I also have to deal with those questions from my own children about my circumstances and that I have a modern family situation.”

Karan is a single parent to twins Yash and Roohi. They were born in 2017 through surrogacy. Talking about this and the constant discussions about his sexual orientation, Karan added, “They will find out things and I will have to answer. As a single parent, I know that I answer to my children on so many aspects.”

Speaking about his sexual orientation in an interview with India Today in 2020, Karan said, “Everybody knows what my sexual orientation is. I don’t have to scream. If I have to explain it, I won’t do it just because I live in a country where I could be imprisoned for saying it.”

Karan Johar’s recent work

Last year, Karan Johar returned to directing with the commercially successful Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Since then, he has produced several films under his Dharma Productions banner, including box office disappointments like Kill, Yodha and Jigra. Karan recently sold a 50% stake in Dharma to businessman Adar Poonawalla ₹1000 crore after several reports claimed that the production house was on the verge of bankruptcy.
