Shahrukh was stuck in New York during the 9/11 attack, it was possible to leave because of his wife and child

The 9/11 attack is one of the most horrific attacks in the world. Do you know that Shah Rukh Khan was in America, in New York, during the time of the 9/11 attack? Shah Rukh Khan was in New York with his wife Gauri Khan, Aryan Khan, and Karan Johar. Shah Rukh Khan was in America, in New York, for the promotion of his film 'My Name Is Khan' at that time. Shah Rukh Khan has told about his experience during that period in America, in New York.

My wife, my young son, and my director's mother were all interviewed at the launch of Ashoka. The rest of the team left for Toronto four hours before we did. The news that came after this was shocking. My wife, my son, and Karan Johar's mother were shocked.

Shahrukh said, 'We woke up, Karan's mother showed us the TV and we thought this is the plane that our crew was going to take, that's why she was showing us this news. Just before we were about to leave, a terrible accident happened. Media people came downstairs to my room, they wanted to interview me and I was like what happened?'

Shahrukh said that we were stuck but people understood and supported us because we were with mother and children. I was stuck there with my family for 3-4 days. Then we made our way, first, we went to Toronto and came back from there. All the routes to leave America were closed. Then we asked for special permission and they understood. The reason for that was that we had a mother and children with us. This way we were able to leave. I think I was very impressed by this. As was everyone.
