Rizwan is different from the other children and no one, including his mother, can understand why.  As an adult, Khan moves to San Francisco and is diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a disorder which makes it difficult for people to interact socially. Rizwan meets a Hindu woman, and despite hostility to the match, they marry.  The Khans’ existence gets disrupted, however, after 9/11 when they begin to experience prejudice in their community because of their Muslim roots. Khan then sets out on a journey that takes him from one U.S. state to another in order to prove that he is not a terrorist.  The irony is that in August 2009, when Shah Rukh Khan (a Muslim), came to the U.S. to promote the film, he was detained and questioned for two hours at Newark Liberty International Airport because of his “Khan” name, infuriating Indian leaders and fans around the world.  A case where life imitates art, and vice versa.
