EXCLUSIVE: Karan Johar discusses not having a partner: Love hasn’t evaded me, romance has

Karan Johar has made us all believe in love with his romantic movies. His films are known for the romance and love that revolves in the plot. The filmmaker-producer is a proud single parent to his kids, Roohi and Yash Johar, whom he welcomed via surrogacy.

We sat down with Karan Johar for a candid conversation, just ahead of the premiere of the show Koffee With Karan 7. In an exclusive interview with us, the filmmaker discussed why not having a love life is one regret he will have in his life. When asked if the thought of being a parent stemmed up from the point where he does not have a partner, Johar reacted.

Karan told Bollywood Bubble, “Just because your not in a relationship doesn’t mean you should become a parent. You’ll know you want to be a parent when you’re emotionally ready. The two are not related at all. It’s not that mere zindagi mein pyaar nahi hai toh main bache le aaunga (It’s not that because I don’t have love in my life, I should have kids).”

The filmmaker added, “One cannot replace the other. The love you get from a romantic liaison is very different from the love you get as a parent. And they are very different forms of love. You have to be ready emotionally to be a parent. Because, a parent is a very selfless person.”

When he was asked if he misses having a partner, he said, “My pool of love is so complete with my mum and my kids. But, ofcourse, that one portion of your heart will always remain like there’s a vaccum. But, like they say the song Har Kisiko Nahi Milta Yaha Pyaar Zindagi Mein. It’s not that love has ever evaded me, but romance has.”
