The designer, who's openly gay is married to Jerome Marrel...
Karan Johar is a happy man today. He is an incredibly successful producer and now has been blessed with twins - Yash and Roohi. The filmmaker who opted for surrogacy is now a proud father of two.
While Karan and the whole industry is kicked about it, designer Wendell Rodricks who's openly gay, is against the whole idea of surrogacy. He explained in an interview to Deccan Chronicle, "To be brutal, in my head, surrogacy is an ego trip. There are too many children in India that should be adopted. This hire-a-womb is not my thing. But I don’t hold it against those who opt for it."
Wendell is married to partner Jerome Marrel. He also admitted that there was a time he thought of adopting kids but eventually he didnt. Why? He tells the portal, "I do not want to leave behind orphaned teenagers or kids in their 20s. I am glad I have a partner who told me flat out when I was thinking of adopting, ‘That child will be spoilt rotten. From day one she will be in Wendell couture with a Dior feeding bottle. At school, she will be teased for having gay g***u fathers. She will be bashed, slammed and shamed for having uncles and aunties who are in fashion or film. She will be a spoilt brat as she will walk a ramp at age four. So forget it. Let us work for the children of our village and state. Or children of parents with AIDS, children born to battered women, physically challenged children. Offer scholarships to the persevering, the underprivileged and truly needy’. I took his advice. And I’m eternally happy. Just as those who resort to surrogacy are."
But he quickly adds, "Everyone deserves happiness and it takes all types. I don’t want to judge others. I can only judge myself and my decisions. Karan Johar has made a decision and we should not judge his decision. As for the LGBTQ community, let us focus on Section 377 being amended so that future generations of LGBTQ children have the freedom to live a wholesome, non-judgmental life in this great country."
