During the launch of his book, An Unsuitable Boy, he had dropped a hint but nobody supposedly took it seriously. "I don't know what I'm going to do about it but I feel like I would like to be a parent. I don't know how it's going to happen but I do feel the need because I have plenty of love to offer and I'd like to take it forward. This feeling needs a release and requires a platform. And that platform could be by being a parent," Karan had said.

Now, after the news broke, the Twitterati congratulated the ace filmmaker for becoming a single parent. Will there be a grand party to welcome the newborns? However, Karan is not the first single father in Bollywood. Actor Tusshar Kapoor had welcomed son Laksshya in June last year.
