SRK and Kajol had reunited for ‘My Name is Khan’ after a span of 9 years and the film created magic.
The film revolves around the life of SRK’s character Rizwan Khan and showed his journey of meeting the president of America. The movie not only became one of the biggest hits of 2010 but was also appreciated by both the critics and the audience.
In the film, Shah Rukh portrayed the role of a Muslim man named Rizwan who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. Kajol played the character of Mandira, a single mother who gets married to Rizwan. The couple’s life turns upside down when Mandira’s son gets killed after being bullied for having a Muslim father post the September 11 attacks in New York City.
