Meet actor who was madly in love with this superstar's wife, never married, has two kids...,his name is...
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, love is always shown big and loud on the golden screen, and one person who has defined this in Bollywood is Karan Johar. Whether it's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham or Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Karan Johar has given love in all its complexities. But what happens beyond the reel, in real life, is a lot more than the Bollywood tale portrays. Speaking of Karan's life itself, the man who has convinced millions to believe in love is still single. While Karan has accomplished everything in his professional life, whether its money fame or success, he never married, but there was a time when he fell in love and even proposed to this superstar's wife.
Before Karan Johar became a well-known figure, he led a simple life. He was studying in a boarding school, and that's where he met the person who stole his heart. She was none other than Twinkle Khanna, the sassy and charming daughter of superstar Rajesh Khanna. She eventually became a renowned author and the wife of actor Akshay Kumar. But at that time, she was simply Twinkle, the classmate who made Karan falls heads over heels for.
Unlike any other childhood crush, Karan was quite infatuated with Twinkle, so much so that when Twinkle shifted school, he trailed behind her. He changed schools to stay close to her. With a friendship that had everything – fun, leg-pulling, and emotions, what Karan felt for Twinkle was quite deeper than that. He even once plotted to cut school simply to see her, though he couldn't follow through. Years later, Karan openly confessed at a public function that Twinkle was the only girl he'd ever loved. Twinkle herself disclosed at the launch of her book, Mrs Funnybones, that Karan had popped the question to her in school in the most hilarious manner. 'I like you,' he told her, 'I like your moustache—it's hot.'
Born on 25 May 1972 in Mumbai, Karan Johar was born into the world of films since the late director Yash Johar, his father, was the head of Dharma Productions. But even though he was very much indulged in the film world and knew countless stars, his heart made room for only Twinkle. Never again did he fall in love with another woman after her, and he settled down alone.
In 2017, Karan achieved his dreams of parenthood and had twins through surrogacy—son Yash and daughter Roohi. Even if he didn't discover romantic companionship, Karan discovered love in its purest form through his kids. His experience serves as an emotional reminder that love does not always arrive in the shape of a life partner—it can also remain alive through remembrances, friends, and family.

Meet actor, who got married thrice, first marriage ended in 10 months, second marriage lasted for 2 years, is now..., third wife's name is...
Meet actor, who got married thrice, first marriage ended in 10 months, second marriage lasted for 2 years, is now..., third wife's name is... Actor Karan Singh Grover rose to unparallel fame through his stint on TV. While he was admired for his dashing personality, his personal life always remained a topic of intrigue. Been married thrice in his life, he first tied the knot with actress Shraddha Nigam, who he met through a mutual friend. The marriage ended in just 10 months, and the couple officially got divorced in 2009. According to rumours, the reason for their separation was Karan's extramarital affair with his Dill Mill Gayye co-star Jennifer Winget. In 2012, the actor married Jennifer, and got separated in 2014. After 2 years, he fell in love with Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu, whom he met on the sets of horror film Alone . The couple got married in 2016, and welcomed their first born, daughter Devi Basu Singh Grover in 2022. When Bipasha Basu's parents objected her decision to marry Karan Singh Grover Bipasha and Karan have been happily married for over 8 years now. Before Karan, Basu was in a long-term relationship with actor John Abraham. She earlier revealed that her parents were hesitant about her marriage with Karan, due to his past failed relationships. The actress told Pinkvilla in 2022, 'Failed marriage is not the sign that the human being has to be wrong. So, it's not that they should be condemned. Like for me, I explained to my parents that the kind of relationship that I had was longer and it's much bigger than his marriage. It's just that I did not sign a piece of paper. So how does it make me different from him. Relationships don't work out, it's unfortunate but in the longer run when you look back you are always happier. It's always said that things happen in your life for a reason and it's always true.' Karan Singh Grover on wife Bipasha Basu Karan admits he has become a changed man after Bipasha entered his life. 'She is the kind of person who is in a constant state of giving ng. Whoever's in her life stays connected with her. All the heavy, all the negative, the lower vibration stuff just falls s. I have another profession (he has also started painting) because of her. She helped me understand and connect with me. The real me. I know myself today because of her. The change that has happened is so drastic. Like from being a nocturnal being to somebody waking up at 5 a.m. and wanting to see every sunrise and every sunset.' The actor told TOI.
