The filmmaker has become a single father of twins, a baby boy and girl, who were born through surrogacy and says he is \u201cenormously blessed\u201d to be a parent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am ecstatic to share with you all the two most wonderful additions to my life, my children and lifelines; Roohi and Yash. I feel enormously blessed to be a parent to these pieces of my heart who were welcomed into this world with the help of the marvels of medical science,\u201d Johar said in a statement on March 5.<\/p>\n

In June last year, actor Tusshar Kapoor also became a single parent to a boy, born through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to be a father! The paternal instincts in me have been overpowering my heart and mind for some time now,\u201d he had said.<\/p>\n

Aamir and Shah Rukh too opted for surrogacy to extend their families.<\/p>\n

Aamir and wife Kiran Rao welcomed son Azad in December 2011.<\/p>\n

Even Shah Rukh and his wife Gauri Khan, opted for surrogacy for the birth of their third child AbRam.<\/p>\n

Actor Sohail Khan and his wife Seema were blessed with a baby boy\u2014their second child\u2014through surrogacy in June 2011.<\/p>\n

Noted choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan and her husband Shirish Kunder chose to become parents through IVF procedure.<\/p>\n

In February 2008, Farah, at the age of 43, gave birth to triplets – two daughters and a son.<\/p>\n

However, for a single parent, to opt for the procedure may become difficult in future as a new bill introduced in Lok Sabha last year is seeking a ban on commercial surrogacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
