Two entertainment writers on SAJA's board, Aparita Bhandari and Aseem Chhabra (@chhabs & host of AseemChhabraShow), will be interviewing the actors. We are not exactly sure which part of the 1.5 hours Khan and Kajol will be available (they have a busy day, including ringing the opening bell at the NASDAQ). During the rest of the time, the hosts will discuss the actors' work and careers, the backdrop of this movie, and taking your live comments and questions. Many thanks to SAJA & SAMMA's @GiteshPandya for setting up these - and so many other SAJA-SAMMA events.

Official movie description:
In MY NAME IS KHAN, Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol Devgan inhabit the most challenging roles of their careers. Rizvan Khan is an honorable Muslim man from India, living with Asperger’s Syndrome, who falls unconditionally for the beautiful Mandira, a Hindu single mother living out her version of the global dream of success. Yet, when an unspeakable act of cowardice tears their family apart, Khan selflessly embarks on a powerful journey through a contemporary America that is as complex as the terrain of the human heart. He innocently becomes that most unlikely act of defiance, one of peace and compassion. He provides a sobering reality that touches the lives of every person he crosses. In the name of the woman he loves, a curious stranger will introduce himself to the world simply by saying, “My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist.”
Fox Searchlight Pictures presents MY NAME IS KHAN, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Jimmy Shergill and Tanay Chheda. Directed and produced by acclaimed filmmaker Karan Johar, the screenplay is written by Johar and Shibani Bathija. The production team includes director of photography Ravi K. Chandran, editor Deepa Bhatia, production designer Sharmishta Roy, costume designers Manish Malhotra & Shiraz Siddique, and music directors Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy.
