Karan Johar shared heartwarming posts to Celebrate Father's Day today, on June 15. As he shared one post with his kids shedding light on his journey as a single father, he also remembered his late father, Yash Johar today.
Karan Johar took to his Instagram on Sunday, June 15 to mark Father's Day. He shared a nostalgic photo with his father, both sitting at the sets of a film and talking. Karan has always spoken about his close bond with his father. Yash passed away in 2004 at the age of 74.
Remembering his father and his work in Bollywood, Karan wrote, "He made films with soul & for the soul...and he lived life with even more. He taught me that good storytelling begins with you...and your good heart. Thank you for giving me the courage to feel deeply. Thank you for giving me the courage to show these feelings on the biggest screens possible. Happy father’s day papa, thank you...for you."
He then shared another post with his children, Yash and Roohi on Instagram along with an emotional caption that read, "Some decisions are impulsive, some decisions are strategized and some are just blessed…. My decision to be a single parent has been the single most emotionally satisfying decision I could have ever made… the answer to my every prayer to the universe…."
Recalling the days when he received several advises on Parenthood, he continued, "I was told to read books, listen to podcasts and to speak to other parents for help and guidance .. and while I truly appreciate all the good intentions of generous advice I feel each journey of a parent ( more so a single parent ) is truly unique and needs to be dealt with on your personal instinct… there are no rules for parenting there are just instincts that guide me everyday… I know I will falter, fumble and fall…. But the abundant love always makes me eventually rise…. Today I celebrate myself … for completing my own half existence with the presence of my blessings Roohi and Yash… they filled a deep void and created some more space for love in my aura and heart… #happyfathersday."
