Karan Johar, who has two kids, Roohi and Yash, talks about what he wants his kids to pursue professionally.

Karan Johar is popularly known for launching nepo babies and giving them the biggest breaks of their careers, because who doesn’t desire to star in a Dharma movie? But when it comes to his own kids–Roohi and Yash, he has some other plans. The acclaimed filmmaker revealed that he wants his children to be something else within the industry and not pursue acting!

What Does Karan Johar Want His Kids To Be?

When Johar appeared on the Game Changers podcast, he stated that he wants his kids to be makeup and hair artists. The director said, “Don’t even get me started” on what the hair and makeup artists charge today. He added that he wants Roohi and Yash to take up these two professions as they earn more money than other individuals. The Student Of The Year director added that one will do hair and the other will take up make-up, which will benefit both of his kids.

The producer/director also spoke about best friend SRK’s son–Aryan Khan, who just made his debut. 

Karan Johar Talks About Aryan Khan

Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, is all over our social media for his directorial debut–Ba***ds Of Bollywood and he deserves all the love! Like many, Johar also happens to not be afraid to praise Aryan! On the same podcasts, the filmmaker was asked to name one similar and different quality Aryan and SRK share. He stated that both individuals are “crazily, equally, madly, obsessively passionate” about each shot in each scene. The director added that if Aryan doesn’t get what he desires, he goes “berserk.”  Johar added that the quality that is different between the father-son duo is that Aryan is “not in front of the camera.” 

It’s always interesting to see the famous filmmakers like Johar talk about other people’s work and the quality that they possess, whether they are from the industry or are outsiders.
