Karan Johar praises Adolescence
Karan, who is a single dad to twins Yash and Roohi, wrote, “I have always known that raising a child is as much a blessing as it is an arduous responsibility… No book or podcast can prepare you or teach you to be the best version of yourself as a parent …what you need to first be is the best version of YOURSELF.”

He continued, “Adolescence is a wake-up loud call to parents who are raising children in times of social media … I grew up on conversations they speak in emojis … I grew up on books they scroll reels... I grew up on self-discovery they are surrounded by comparisons. The pandemic is NOW! We just don’t see it. This gut-wrenching show is more a mirror to parenting and social media commentary than anything I have seen or been impacted by recently.”
“The gaze of perceived masculinity …. The impact of bullying … the turning a blind eye to child habits and patterns … this 4 episode mini-series is a blasterclass for Parents. The technical marvel of 4 groundbreaking long shots moved me as a filmmaker but broke me as a parent ….
I am raising twins … and I thank this show for building my awareness and my responsibility quotient even more,” he added.
