Filmmaker Karan Johar astonished
the industry and the audience when he pronounced the birth of his twins Yash
and Roohi yesterday. While it came as a pleasant surprise to numerous, what
people were really wondering was that how did he keep such big news under
wraps.
As per to a famous daily, seven days after the birth of his
kids, Karan had hosted a singles only party on Valentines and still managed to
keep the news a secret.
An actor, who was present at the party, on condition of
anonymity said the daily, "I knew he wanted to have children someday, but
I had no idea he was bringing his babies home this soon. Now that I think of
it, Karan was not his usual self. He kept excusing himself frequently. But for
those who had no idea, they couldn't have guessed."
Not just his friends but also people working under his
production house Dharma Productions were shocked with the pronouncement. A
source close to the production house informed, "I don't think anyone in
office was aware about it either. Even last month, Karan followed his usual
schedule and would come to work every other day."
Only Karan's close friends like Gauri Khan, Kareena
Kapoor Khan and Manish Malhotra knew about this lovely addition in his life, a
step that he always desired to take and about which he had mentioned in his
recently released book An Unsuitable Boy. He wrote, "I don't know
what I am going to do about it, but I feel like I would like to be a parent. I
don't know how it's going to happen, but I do feel the need because I have
plenty of love to offer and I'd like to take it forward (sic)."
A unit member who worked on Karan's movie Ae Dil Hai
Mushkil said the daily, "Over the last few years, he was getting
increasingly lonely. He even brought home a pup, Nobu, last year. Though
constantly surrounded by friends, who are no less than family, he craved kids
of his own. I found out about the surrogacy last December. When I asked Karan,
all he said was that I must keep it a secret. We all adore him and respect his
wishes."
"Nothing about his schedule changed in February.
He continued to work at the same pace, overseeing promotions of Badrinath Ki
Dulhania, curating his chat show and other work commitments," further adds
another source.
A close friend of Karan reveals, "I can imagine him as
a paranoid parent, spoiling his kids; I can't see him as a disciplinarian. But
it's early to say what kind of a parent he will be. Let's just say, he will
make a wonderful father."
