The movie followed the life of Rizwan Khan who embarks on a journey to meet the President of America. SRK played the Muslim man Rizwan who has Asperger’s syndrome. Kajol played Mandira, a single mother, who later marries Rizwan. The turmoil that they go through after her son gets killed in the school while he is bullied by other kids for having a Muslim father and what that leads to, was the story of the film.
