Hiroo Johar, the mother of filmmaker and producer Karan Johar, was admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital yesterday.

Karan Johar has often kept his fans updated about his mother’s health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hiroo Johar faced significant medical challenges, undergoing two major surgeries.
