Karan Johar reflects on My Name Is Khan.
Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan starrer My Name Is Khan has completed 14 years today. The film, which holds a special place in fans’ hearts, was released in 2010. Directed by Karan Johar, the romantic drama was very popular among fans for its songs. Karan Johar took to his Instagram handle to pen a heartfelt note to mark the special occasion.
Karan Johar wrote, “It’s been 15 years, and yet the emotions this film evokes remain as strong as ever. I still remember the journey of bringing this story to life—the love, the challenges, and the deep sense of purpose that drove us every step of the way. But the true impact of My Name Is Khan sank in much later, through the countless stories, messages, and connections it has fostered over the years.”
“Even today, I see its dialogues being quoted, its music being cherished, and its message of love and resilience standing tall. This film was always more than just cinema—it was a statement, a sentiment, and above all, a reminder that humanity knows no boundaries. As we celebrate #15YearsOfMNIK, I feel immense gratitude for everyone who embraced Rizwan’s journey and made it their own,” he concluded.
My Name Is Khan is about Shah Rukh Khan’s Rizwan, who is suffering from Asperger’s syndrome and marries Kajol’s Mandira. When unfortunate events unfold after the Twin Tower attacks, he embarks on a journey to change people’s perceptions of his community. Taking to her Instagram handle, Kajol wrote, “Reflecting on the journey of Rizwan and Mandira, and the countless lives they’ve touched…Celebrating the enduring power of love and unity.. #14yearsofmynameiskhan.” Over the years, My Name Is Khan has developed a cult following among fans.
