Karan Johar‘s little babies, Roohi and Yash bring a smile to our faces every time we see the cute munchkins. The director-producer is a doting father to his twins and he has always gone on record to speak about the gratitude he feels on having them in his life.

In a recent interview with popular film critic, Rajeev Masand, KJo opened up about being a single father and how parenthood has entirely changed his life.

Here are a few excerpts:

“I think it’s changed me in more ways than I can actually explain. I can’t believe that I have people who call me ‘Dadda’… who kind of say “don’t go” when I am leaving the room and who kind of come and just need me to hug them.”

“I’ve never felt that before. I’ve never been in a really serious relationship. So, this kind of love, it just hits me reallyhard. I don’t think I’ve been loved in that kind of pure innocent way ever. Like you know there has been love from friendships and love from parents and members of my family but I haven’t seen this pure unadulterated love.”

“I’m sure it’s impacting me as a human being. I know it’s made me more responsible in a certain way. I’m feeling a certain sensitivity in general that I don’t think I had earlier in my head and heart and soul…I can’t believe they are mine and I can’t believe they will be mine forever. I just can’t get over it.”

“I have an out-of-body emotional experience every morning I see them when they call me ‘Dadda’ and I say ‘my son, my daughter’ and I am like ‘they are my children’. I’m still grappling with that emotion. It’s beautiful… like a huge ball of love in my heart right now and I just don’t know what to do with it.”

Awww! Tell me this isn’t the most beautiful thing you read today!
