Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan starrer My Name Is Khan completed 14 years on Wednesday, February 12. The film was released in 2010 and holds a special place in fans’ hearts. Directed by Karan Johar, the romantic drama was popular among fans for its moving story and stellar soundtrack. The film also has a special connection with Varun Dhawan as he worked on the project as an assistant director.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Varun penned a special note of gratitude for Karan Johar for letting him be a part of the venture. He wrote, “So many memories. So much passion and hard work. I was so lucky to be an AD on this one before I began my journey. Thank you, Karan Johar.”
Karan Johar also 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.
