Filmmaker Karan Johar was so touched by the story of a dyslexic child in Aamir Khan’s directorial debut Taare Zameen Par that he now wants to be a father.

Karan admitted Taare Zameen Par was one of the most ‘emotive experiences’ of his movie-going life.

Talking about his experience, Karan said: “I couldn’t move from my seat for 10 minutes after the show. I just sobbed like a baby. I was so moved by the story of the parents discovering the core of their child’s spirit that I now want to be a parent. “

“I’m neither married nor have I ever intended to be a father in real life. But after watching ‘Taare Zameen Par’ I truly want to a father, to connect with a child on a level that only a parent can understand.”

An ardent friend and fan of Shah Rukh Khan, Karan is fulsome in his praise for the other Khan superstar.

“After seeing the film with a regular ticket-paying audience, I called up Aamir and told him that sincerity of vision was part of his DNA. He just can’t help being the creator and the artiste that he is.
