"My Name Is Khan", a movie about an autistic man's journey to meet the US President to give one message -- "My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist" -- Thursday clocked five years. This made its lead actor Shah Rukh Khan and director Karan Johar nostalgic.

"An extremely special film to me...#5YearsOfMyNameIsKhan," Karan tweeted.

The movie brought one of Bollywood's hit pairs Shah Rukh and Kajol together.

The 'Badshah' of the silver screen Shah Rukh also walked down memory lane and thanked the people associated with the film.

"My Name is Khan.....the only film I hav done 'In & As'. Thanx Karan Kajol SEL Ravi Deepa Shibani & everyone. Noor e Khuda," he tweeted.

The film revolves around Rizwan Khan, a Muslim who suffers from a form of autism, and marries a Hindu girl and how their life changes after the 9/11 terrorist attack in the US.

What reminds Shruti Haasan to excel in her field?

Appreciation is a constant nudge to perform better, says actress and singer Shruti Haasan, daughter of actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan.

"So thankful for the work I'm doing the love I get from all of you , a constant reminder to do better and bigger things! Have a super day," she tweeted.

It's a big year for Shruti as there are six films -- four in Bollywood and one each in Tamil and Telugu -- lined up for release.

In Bollywood, Shruti has "Main Gabbar" opposite Akshay Kumar, "Rocky Handsome" and "Welcome Back" opposite John Abraham and "Yaara".

Down south, she has a yet-untitled Tamil and Telugu project each.

Not keeping her career in music on the back-burner, she also crooned the "Joganiyan" track for the film "Tevar".
