Karan Johar has the sweetest and the most special birthday wish for his mother Hiroo. She is the filmmaker’s definition of “brave” and resilience and he loves her “to the planets and back.” Karan Johar, in his post dedicated to his mother, also revealed that she is the only person he is “still scared of.” Karan gave her full credit for helping him raise his twins – Yash and Roohi. KJo shared a bunch of photos of himself with his mother – while some feature her cutting a birthday cake, others are throwbacks from their family album. “My brave and resilient mama turns 80 today,” Karan Johar started his birthday wish and added: “She taught me how to love …how to stand for what I believe in … never apologise or justify myself if I was in the right… never pretend to be anyone I wasn’t.”

Karan Johar shared that his mother is also his “fashion police” and called her his “hero.” The filmmaker wrote: “She is as much my conscience as she is my fashion police… Also the only person who I am still scared of… I love you mom to the planets and back …. I would never have been able to raise Roohi and Yash without you… (red heart icons) #mymommyhero.”
