Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has become a father to twins Roohi and Yesh via surrogacy, says he wants his children to listen to Hindi film music that he has grown up listening to.

“I have grown up listening to lot of Hindi film music whether it is Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle among others. I want in their (twins’s) nursery; some of my favourite music should play all the time,” Karan told the media during the book launch of Ustad Amjad Ali Khan’s “Master on Masters”.

“So that my babies to listen to them because I love their song and they should listen what I love, to love me,” he added.

The 44-year-old filmmaker says he got the habit of listening to iconic playback singers and late rocker Elvis Presley from his mother Hiroo Johar.

“In fact I think my mother married my father because he promised to take her for an Elvis Presley show, which he did on their honeymoon!” he added.

The twins were born two months premature and were kept under close observation in the hospital, got discharged this afternoon and KJO was taking them back home. Karan became a dad to twins in February this year via surrogacy, and the filmmaker recently took to Twitter to share his happiness. And as a tribute to his parents, he has named his kids – Yash and Roohi.

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is extremely close to filmmaker Karan Johar. The actress had stepped out to meet mentor Johar’s kids, Roohi and Yash at the Mumbai hospital.

The twins, born premature, are in the NICU in a Mumbai hospital. While Karan is naturally a regular visitor, this time, his ‘student’ Alia too accompanied him.

After meeting the twins, Alia and Karan headed to a high-end eatery in Bandra for dinner.

Interestingly, Alia and Karan was seen wearing colour-coordinated outfits.

Alia made her Bollywood debut in Karan Johar’s ‘Student Of The Year’, that also marked the debut of Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra.

On the work front, Alia, who is currently basking in the success of her last release ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, will soon begin shooting for her next with Ayan Mukerji.

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar recently became a proud father to twins – Yash and Roohi.  However, the babies were born premature and were kept under close observation.

Today, Karan took to Twitter and wrote a message about the turmoil he underwent as the father and the care that needs to be given to premature babies.

He says, “…My children were born two months premature and worryingly underweight. Like any other person in this situation and on the brink of fatherhood, my heart sank.”

“Knowing that there were complications with my babies’ birth owing to how soon it was, I was terrified. All I wanted to do was hold them and protect them but they needed to be in the NICU. It was painful to see how tiny they were…” he goes on.

Addressing the issue of premature birth, he said, “As someone with a voice, I want to reach out. Million of preemies are born every year…but babies are resilient. With the right kind of care, they stand just as good a chance of survival as anybody else.”

KJo pours his heart out as he steps into this new phase of life. Here’s what he’s got to say.

Gratitude to everyone who made a dream come true & for all the love and wishes! @karanjohar pic.twitter.com/veWN7PoFpr
