This powerful drama brought Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol back together as a romantic duo after almost ten years, tackling the tough issue of Islamophobic discrimination. It was directed by the talented Karan Johar. That's right, we're reminiscing about My Name Is Khan, which premiered on this day in 2010.
