Picture of Karan Johar's twins becomes viral on social media
Karan Johar said that his children were his "world and priority".
MUMBAI (Daily Dunya) – Picture of Bollywood director Karan Johar’s twins who were born through surrogacy became viral on social media.
The 44-year-old filmmaker, who is single, said he was ecstatic to become a parent "with the help of marvels of medical science", but did not disclose the identity of the surrogate who gave birth to his children -- a boy and a girl.
His newborn son was christened after his late father Yash Johar, a celebrated Bollywood filmmaker. His daughter has been named Roohi.
However, Karan Johar is yet to verify the picture.
Johar, one of Bollywood’s most successful film producers, said his children were his "world and priority" and he was ready to raise them.
He’s not the first Bollywood star to chart the course, with actor Tusshar Kapoor fathering a son last year to a surrogate.
Surrogacy is a hot-button issue in India, where the "rent-a-womb" industry is worth between $500 million and $2.3 billion annually, making it the top destination worldwide for the procedure.
