Mumbai/IBNS: Filmmaker Karan Johar penned an emotional note on the occasion on Valentine's Day in which he revealed that his search for love ended o the day his kids Yash and Roohi were born.

In a Facebook post, Johar wrote: "Valentines Day for me for many years has been a day I either partied with other singles or then lamented the lack of a relationship or then celebrated my independence and solo status … it’s always been a blend of so many feeling and emotions!"

"But when Roohi and Yash were born I realised my dependency and search for love ended with their arrival into our universe! I celebrate them along with my mother everyday but today is the day to say to all of us parents that we have forever valentines in our children!"

The filmmaker said to him Valentine's Day now is a "paternal love story".

"A paternal love story is the most satisfying, unconditional and exceptionally rewarding! So raise a toast and if no one sends you flowers today send yourself an emoji," he concluded.

Johar became a father to twins Yash and Roohi through surrogacy in February 2017.

The twins were born at Masrani Hospital in Mumbai.

Johar named his son Yash after his father, and his daughter Roohi was named by rearranging his mother's name Hiroo.
