Father’s Day Special: Karan Johar gets real about fatherhood; shares candid stories on parenting twins, being a single dad and his support system
“There is no one correct way of being a family as long as there is true understanding and support,” says Karan, setting the tone for an episode that explores love, identity, and modern structures of parenting. Here are five powerful takeaways from the episode:
On Facing the Imminent Questions from His Kids
“I will have to have a chat with my twins, about how they came into this world…”
In an emotional conversation with Masaba, Karan talks about preparing for open, honest conversations with his children, Yash and Roohi. “Those questions have started. And while I’ve been poetic so far about it with them, I’ve said, ‘You’ve come from Dada’s heart.’
On Fashion Feedback from His Kids
“Dada, you look like a clown!” – Karan shares a lighter moment, recalling how Yash and Roohi often critique his outfits. “I’ll sometimes have my mum telling me to go back to my room and change while Yash and Roohi tell me, ‘Dada, you look like a clown.’ But when I’m traveling, I miss their brutal honesty… and the joy of our little family unit of four.”
On Parenting His Way
“Raising Roohi and Yash with Mum is the single best decision I’ve made in my life.”
Karan emphasizes the importance of emotional support and pride in creating a nurturing home, even if it doesn’t look conventional. “Best. But it was certainly not the easiest.”
On Found Families and Forever Bonds
“One of the greatest joys of my life that my children benefit so much from is that the tribe I’ve built through my life.” Karan celebrates his chosen family, including Gauri Khan, Farah Khan, Neha Dhupia, Putlu (Kajal Anand), and Shweta Bachchan. “They’ve been there for me… they’ve been so supportive. For my kids, they couldn’t be further from lacking ‘a mother’s love.’”
On Sports Day Jitters and Stepping Up
“I have to kind of figure out how do I balance my strengths and weaknesses so that my children have an all-around existence.” Speaking with Neha Dhupia, Karan recounts his personal challenge during a school event. “Yash told me, why don’t you run this race with me? And I was like, oh my God, I’ll lose to my seven-year-old.” He reflects on stepping outside his comfort zone to offer his children a well-rounded upbringing.
The episode is a thoughtful listen for anyone navigating parenthood or curious about non-traditional family dynamics. ‘Live Your Best Life with Karan Johar’ is now streaming on Audible.in.
