Zakir Khan: Rizwan's younger brother, Zakir assists him in settling down in America. Despite being a successful businessman and having a strong bond with Rizwan, he finds it difficult to comprehend his brother's condition and frequently becomes irritated by his actions.
Haseena Khan: Haseena, who passes away early in the movie, is the mother of Rizwan and Zakir. She is a devoted mother who instills in her sons a strong sense of justice and compassion.
Barack Obama: Although he only makes a fleeting appearance in the movie, the president is crucial to Rizwan's quest. To clear his record, Rizwan sets out to visit the President, and this encounter serves as a testament to the ability of one person to change the course of history.
