However, when he hooks up with a girl named Emily (Zoe Kazan) at one of his shows, and they insist that nothing will ever happen between them again, a tale of heartbreak, self-discovery, family, and the love spread everywhere between unfolds and changes their lives forever.The film also stars Anupam Kher, Zenobia Shroff, and Adeel Akhtar as Kumail's family and Holly Hunter and Ray Romano as Emily's parents.

Artistic License – History | |
| The Big Sick / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: In real life, Emily and Kumail never broke up prior to her illness; the real Emily decided that it would be more interesting for the drama to happen to a recent ex-girlfriend than to a casual girlfriend. Two of the most iconic scenes of the film — Terry asking Kumail about 9/11 and Beth defending him at a comedy show — never happened in real life. Emily's actual father never cheated on her mother. The real Emily was indeed in a funk after waking from her coma, but it was more out of being upset at her own body betraying her than lingering bad feelings against Kumail. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| The Big Sick / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Kumail's parents' marriage was arranged, and his mother Sharmeen keeps trying to set him up with one of these. It's a Running Gag that very much stops being played for comedy after a while. | |
