The story follows (Shah Rukh Khan), an Indian Muslim man with Asperger's syndrome who moves to San Francisco and falls in love with Mandira (Kajol), a Hindu single mother. Their peaceful life is shattered after the September 11 attacks, as prejudice leads to a personal tragedy—the death of Mandira’s son, Sameer. Blaming Rizwan, Mandira tells him in a moment of grief not to return until he can tell the President of the United States: "My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist" .
