In Karan Johar's 2010 drama My Name Is Khan, Kajol plays Mandira, a spirited single mother in San Francisco who falls in love with Rizwan Khan, a man living with Asperger's syndrome. When tragedy strikes after 9/11 and her son is killed in a hate crime, Mandira's world shatters — and her grief drives Rizwan on an extraordinary journey across America to prove that his name is not his crime. Kajol's performance anchors the film's emotional weight, moving from radiant warmth to devastating loss with remarkable precision.
Throughout the early, sunlit chapters of the story — the courtship, the wedding, the quiet domestic moments — Mandira is often seen in a pair of Ray-Ban RB2140 Wayfarers. The classic black acetate frame with its confident trapezoidal silhouette mirrors her character's bold yet grounded personality. Against San Francisco's bright streets and her flowing, colourful wardrobe, the Wayfarers feel effortless — a natural part of a woman who moves through the world on her own terms.
The RB2140's balanced proportions and substantial feel suit Kajol's expressive face, framing her eyes without hiding the warmth behind them. Before the film takes its darker turn, the sunglasses capture Mandira at her most carefree: laughing with her son, teasing Rizwan, building a life. In those moments, the Wayfarers are simply part of a woman in love — a quiet, elegant fixture in a story that would soon demand everything from her.
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer RB2140 is one of the most iconic sunglasses models, crafted from durable acetate and defined by its distinctive trapezoidal shape. First introduced in the 1950s, it features bold lines and a slightly tilted front for a unique visual identity. Typically available with G-15, gradient, or polarized lenses, it provides reliable visual clarity and sun protection. The structured frame ensures a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear.
