Shah Rukh Khan was in the US in 2001, when there was a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. In an interview, the actor revealed this. He said that he was in New York during the 9/11 attacks. He was accompanied by his family and Karan Johar’s mother Hiru Johar at that time. Not only this, he had to ask for special permission to return.
In a conversation with DW News, Shah Rukh Khan said, ‘I was in New York at that time. I was accompanied by Karan Johar’s mother Heeru, my wife Gauri and my son Aryan. We had to interview for the launch of the film Ashoka, while the rest of the team had to go to Toronto four hours ago.
Let me tell you, at that time Shah Rukh was also promoting his film ‘My Name Is Khan’, which was based on the growing Islamophobia in the West after the terrorist attack.
Kareena Kapoor was seen opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the film Ashoka.
Shah Rukh Khan said, ‘I was sleeping, then suddenly Karan Johar’s mother came and showed me the visuals of the terrorist attack. The news that he showed me on TV was reported to have a plane crash. Initially I felt that our team’s plane crashed, so she is telling me about it. At that time, I could not understand what to do. I was waiting for the media interview under my room, while I was wondering what happened. ‘

But a few days later he got special permission from the authorities and went to Toronto with his family and Karan’s mother. Shah Rukh further said that he feels that the incident had a profound effect on him, as if the rest of the people were.
