From Karan Johar to Tusshar Kapoor: The most doting single dads of Bollywood!

Bollywood's hotshot producer Karan Johar became a father to twins in Februray, 2017 through surrogacy. The adorable twins are the apple of his eye as he often posts pictures of them on his social media.

 

He has a daughter named Roohi and a son named Yash. The director-producer has often been asked if he is able to provide the love of a mother and father. 

 

In Arbaaz Khan's chat show, Karan answered this question aptly. He said, "“Yes conventionally and traditionally children are raised by a mother and a father and I get that, I am a single parent and it comes with its own set of challenges but that doesn’t mean that women and a man have different roles to play."

 

"Like I think that’s very stupid. Cause that’s an old world thinking. And I feel like I give enough love to my child. And also, I have a mother at home who they call mumma. I am co-parenting my children with my mother and I don’t think there can be a better relationship or a situation like that,” he added.

Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor is single and enjoys dedicating all his time to his son Laksshya who he had through surrogacy in 2016.

 

Many fans have questioned Tusshar's decision of opting for surrogacy instead of adopting a child. He spoke about the same on Kareena Kapoor's show 'What Women Want', explaining, "I wanted a biological child. Maybe I will adopt in the future, you never know. Never say never to anything. If people who get married and have stereotypical families would like to have their own kids, why can’t I, as a single parent?"
