Since late last night, the industry has been in a tizzy over the news of Karan Johar's new-found paternal instincts. The director-producer became father to a pair of twins through surrogacy. Though the formalities concluded last month, Johar confirmed the news yesterday night. Expressing his gratitude to the surrogate mother who helped fulfil his 'lifelong dream', Johar said that it was an 'emotional yet well thought out decision.' 

Johar's children are named Yash, after his late father, and Roohi, an anagram of his mother Hiroo. The producer-director put out a tweet on his personal account making a formal announcement. 

Congratulations Karan Johar!
