Karan Johar Early Life

In 2021, Karan Johar will be 49 years old, having been born as Rahul Kumar Johar on May 25, 1972 (age 42 at the time of this writing). His name, Rahul, was chosen for him at birth. After a few days, however, they decided to shorten it to “Karan,” resulting in the name “Karan Kumar Johar.” Gemini is his horoscope sign.

Yash Johar, Karan’s dad, worked in the film industry. Even his mom, Hiroo Johar, works in the movie business. The famous directors Baldev Raj Chopra and Yash Chopra are his uncles on his mother’s side. His maternal uncles are director and cinematographer Dharam Raj Chopra and film distributor Raj Chopra. His aunt on his mother’s side is the actress Vimla Chopra. His maternal cousins include the famous filmmakers Ravi Chopra, Aditya Chopra, and Uday Chopra. When Rani Mukerji married Karan Johar’s maternal cousin Aditya Chopra, she became Karan’s sister-in-law.

In this case, Johar’s surrogate mother carried twins. The name Yash was derived from Karan’s late grandpa, Yash Chopra, while the name Roohi was created by rearranging the letters of his mother’s name, Hiroo.
