Filmmaker Karan Johar on Monday revealed that after he embraced parenthood in 2017, his “best friends” from Bollywood, Rani Mukerji, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor Khan, helped him raise his twins, Yash and Roohi. Karan had earlier shared that he is co-parenting the twins with his mother, Hiroo Johar.
In a media interaction in Mumbai, Karan shared, “When I had kids, I was 44 years old. I always thought I would be the oldest person in a PTM (parent-teacher meeting), a WhatsApp group, or my children’s birthday party. But it is so far from the truth. Kareena had Taimur just two months prior to Yash and Roohi’s birth. Rani had Adira a year before Yash and Roohi were born. These two are my closest friends in the industry.” Karan’s children were born through surrogacy in 2017.

On his chat show Koffee with Karan, Karan has often mentioned that his children and Rani and Aditya Chopra’s daughter, Adira, are around the same age and are a part of taekwondo class together. He said that Kareena’s son Taimur, who is a year older than his children, is very close to them as well. Expressing his gratitude for the friendship he shares with Rani, Kareena and Kajol, Karan added, “Sometimes, Kajol behaves like one of them. I am glad that I have a support system comprising of these (three) friends. When you are a single parent, you have to know one thing. Barring the fact that I am eternally grateful to my mother for her constant support, I must say I am grateful to my friends.”
While Karan had already addressed the ups and downs that his bond with Kajol and Kareena has witnessed over the years, he spoke about it again at the press meet. He said, “With time, you realise that relationships go through ups and downs. I would never want to go back to the time when we weren’t speaking (addressing his past feuds with Kajol and Kareena). I am glad that today I am strong as a friend.”
Koffee with Karan season 8 is streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar. The next guests on Karan’s celebrity chat show will be actors Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal.
