Who can forget the 9/11 terror attack? The centuries will pass, but neither the wounds will be filled nor the pain will ever be reduced. This was the deadliest terrorist attack in America, killing about 3 thousand people. At that time, people who were in New York had a deep and bad effect on them, because they saw that terrorist incident very closely. One of them was Shah Rukh Khan, who was present in New York at that time. Along with son Aryan, wife Gauri Khan and Karan Johar’s mother Hiru Johar were also there. Shahrukh told about this in an interview to ‘DW News’ in 2010. At that time Shah Rukh was promoting his/her film ‘My Name Is Khan’, which was based on the growing Islamophobia in the west after the terrorist attack.
