Javed Akhtar pens a beautiful gift for Karan Johar's tiny tots

The poet Javed Akhtar presented Karan's children, Yash and Roohi Johar, with a unique gift of poems. 

After Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Shah Rukh Khan, and the rest of the film industry went ga ga over Karan Johar's children, it was the turn of poet Javed Akhtar to present the kids with something special. The poet and scriptwriter penned two beautiful poems for Karan's children as a present for their housewarming. 

All of the film industry's bigwigs had descended at Karan's house to be introduced to the kids on 7 April. While the rest of the industry might have brought something special, Akhtar's poem are a personal touch that left Karan and even his mother Hiroo Johar deeply touched. 

Addressed to Roohi and Yash, the poems elaborate on the legacy of Hiroo and Yash Johar. To Roohi, Akhtar writes 'Tumko chupke se ik baat bataaoon, Apne naam ki zara talaashi jo tum logi, is mein chhupi ek ladki milegi….'

The poem is a hint at Roohi's name, which is an anagram of Karan's mother's name, Hiroo. 

Poets always have the gift of words, they say.
