Karan Johar pens a letter for his kids Yash and Roohi and it’s extremely emotional

The entire nation was met with the surprising news of filmmaker Karan Johar turning a parent as he announced the same earlier this year. Karan became a father to two beautiful kids, Yash and Roohi, via surrogacy. While he hasn’t shared their pictures as yet, we wait impatiently to catch a clear glimpse of the adorable beings.

Now, the happy father has penned a heartfelt letter about his dreams for his little angels, his presence in their life, his unspoken fears and most importantly, his free opinions on letting them carve their own path (not necessarily follow in his footsteps).

He has written the letter for Vogue magazine and here are the excerpts from the emotional and heartwarming letter:

“I started going to the gym and got myself a nutritionist. All to get healthier, so I’m around. I’m aware that the one thing I can give you, that I owe you, is my life. I am learning to rely more on my instincts and I’m learning to accept the fears, apprehensions, and insecurities that come with being a dad. I’ve already started imagining things like your first day at school, your first words and even your first acknowledgment of me. To tell you the truth, every single day I whisper ‘papa, papa, papa’ into your ears because I’m petrified that your first words will be in Malayalam (all our four nurses are from Kerala)!”

He further states that he wants to provide them ample freedom to choose what they want to be when they grow up. Writes Karan, “I don’t want you to do what is expected just because I have a company and have built a legacy. I wish that I bring you up to become people who are fiercely independent in your choices, opinions and your individual lives. The legacy, if any, I want to pass on is the independence that I was given.” He finally sums it up by saying, “I always remember what my father did and who he was. I live with my mother and I love seeing what she says and what she doesn’t. I want you two to eventually remember it all.”

Well written Karan!
