Bollywood has congratulated filmmaker Karan Johar for becoming
a father to twins -- via surrogacy.
National Award-winning filmmaker Hansal Mehta tweeted: 'Welcome
to fatherhood.'
Actress Priyanka Chopra tweeted: 'Congratulations Karan
Johar, so happy for you. May Yash and Roohi always have a beautiful healthy
life. Much love always.'
Karan, 44, said in a statement that his children - Roohi and
Yash - were the two most wonderful additions to his life. He called them his
'lifelines'.
Actress Alia Bhatt, who has worked with Karan in films such
as 'Student of the Year' and 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania', was
elated.
'Finally, I can say I have a younger brother and sister!
So happy. So much love to give. Bursting with joy,' she tweeted.
Actor Sidharth Malhotra, whom Karan launched with 'Student
of the Year', tweeted: 'So happy you took this decision Karan! It's
a full house now. You will be an amazing father, love to your new big family.'
Actor Tusshar Kapoor, who became a single parent to Laksshaya
Kapoor via surrogacy in 2016, said Karan deserved 'these little blessings'.
'Karan, you will be a terrific father to the twin joys,'
he wrote.
Filmmaker Farah Khan, who has triplets through In Vitro Fertilisation
(IVF), is glad Karan finally took her advice seriously.
'Best thing to happen to you and they'll be the youngest
people you hang out with so all's good,' she tweeted.
Actor Varun Dhawan, who made his acting debut in Karan's 'Student
of the Year' in 2012, tweeted: 'Karan, you are the best human being
I know and I'm sure you will make the best dad.'
Calling it the 'most satisfying and rewarding aspect of
your life', actor R. Madhavan tweeted: 'Congratulations. Welcome to
parenthood. God bless the young ones. Proud papa.'
In his book 'An Unsuitable Boy', released this year,
Karan had expressed a desire to adopt a child or go for surrogacy.
The filmmaker, who keeps travelling around the world, understands
that having children would mean that 'work, travels and social commitments
would have to take a back seat'.
Karan extended gratitude to IVF specialist Jatin Shah, who
was also instrumental in the successful birth of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and
his wife Gauri's son AbRam through surrogacy.
