According to NDTV, Karan Johar opened up about how Alia broke the news to him and how he instantly was in tears.

“She came to my office. I remember I was having a bad hair day and I was sitting in a hoodie with cap. And she told me this. My first emotion was, tears just came out and Alia came and gave me a hug. I remember saying, ‘I can’t believe you are having a baby’. It feels like your baby is having a baby. It was a very emotional moment for me, it still is!” he said.

He went on to express how he’s seen Alia transform from a child into an “outstanding artiste” and that holding her baby in his arms will be a very emotional moment.

“I’ve seen her from a girl transforming into an outstanding artiste, into this wonderful self-assured woman. And I feel so much pride. She was my first burst of being a parent. My first burst of parenting was when she walked into my office when she was 17. She’s 29 today and these last 12 years have been magical for both of us. I share such a strong bond with her. I can’t wait to hold her baby in my arms. It will be a very emotional moment, as close to when I held my own children,” he said.

Can’t wait for this wonder-baby to arrive!
