I will adopt a child: Karan Johar
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, 39, plans to adopt a baby soon. He's sure he'll be able to give his child the right upbringing and shower all the bottled up love in his heart.
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, 39, plans to adopt a baby soon.
“I have the makings of a good father, and my mother (Hiroo Yash Johar) can definitely become the world’s best granny. She has everything it takes,” says KJo, talking proudly about his plans to become a single dad.
Junior Johar will come home only once KJo has the time to dedicate himself to the child.
"At the moment I will be on my toes with all the projects that have been green-signalled by my production house. If I adopt a kid now, I don’t think I’ll be able to do justice to my role as a father. It makes no sense to bring a child home and hand it over to a nanny.
The day I’m through with most of the projects, and I have some time to breathe, Junior Johar will come home," he says.
Johar says he’s been considering adoption for a while.
“I’m sure when I adopt my baby, I’ll be able to give it the right upbringing and shower all the bottled up love in my heart on my little one. I want to see him or her grow up in front of my eyes everyday,” he says.
What about a mother for his child?
“I don’t ever want to get married. As for a mother for my kid, I think I’ll manage that responsibility well. And wherever I fall short, I’ll have my mother to help me.”
Karan is a wonderful human being, I am sure he'll be a good father
