In Anurag Kashyap’s period drama Bombay Velvet, he played the main antagonist alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
On a personal front, he was open about declaring his sexual orientation: “Everyone knows what my sexual orientation is. I don’t have to shout it out loud. If I need to explain it, I won’t, because I live in a country where I can be jailed for saying it”. Through surrogacy, Johar became the father of twins (a boy and a girl) in February 2017. Johar named his son Yash after his father and his daughter Roohi after his mother’s maiden name Hiroo.
