On March 8, 2018, i.e. International Women’s Day, Karan Johar shared a heartfelt message wishing to raise Roohi just like her grandmother. He had said, “I was raised by a woman who had a strong mind, an independent mind and a solid soul. She taught me how to live a fearless life along with a strong sense of right and wrong! She also taught me the art of abandon! She made me the man I am, a man who is honoured to be raised by a woman of substance! Roohi my darling I hope I raise you to be just like your grandmother.” (Also Read: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Shares A Portrait Of Her Late Father, Krishnaraj Rai On His Death Anniversary)

Karan Johar had named his twins, Yash Johar and Roohi Johar after his parents, Hiroo Johar and Yash Johar. About the thought behind naming his kids after his parents, Karan has shared in an interview with Pinkvilla, “It was a given. I always wanted this. I was dying to name my kids after them. Because the three of us are like a solid one unit family. I don't say this in a sappy or emotional way but I say this with all my heart. We're a complete unit. Even when I lost my dad I am completed by his memory. So I thought I needed to take the legacy of that love ahead. I am glad I got the opportunity to do so with my kids. I always said that if I have a boy or a girl I will name both of them after my parents. But if I have two boys or two girls then I won't do because then one of them would feel bad and I had no backup plans to these names. I think I've been very blessed and fortunate that I got these two and named them Yash which is my dad's name and Roohi which has been taken from Hiroo, my mother's name.”

Amidst his professional commitments, when asked how he handles his daddy duties, Karan Johar had remarked, “I divide time for everything. Time management is my forte! I do it exquisitely. It's something I am very good at. I think we have got a lot of time in a day. We just tend to lay emphasis on how we don't have much time whereas in actual we have all the time to do things we want.” With two little tiny tots by his side, has the fear of not finding a life partner has gone, Karan answered, “Yeah yeah. I don't fear it, I don't care about finding a life partner anymore. I already have my life partners- my children and my mom. I am grateful.” (Also Read: Shilpa Shetty Kundra And Raj Kundra 'Almost' Got Divorced Courtesy Anurag Basu, Here's What Happened)
