A few days back, the King Khan witnessed the much talked about, detention at an American airport. He claims that that he will in no way visit America again. Last month, America’s Continental Airlines asked for forgiveness to the former Indian President- APJ Abdul Kalam in the midst of indignation in India when it appeared that the former Indian president had been cavorted and made to take off his shoes at Delhi airport.
With all these “VIPs”s getting frisked at the International Airports, my question is – What’s the Big deal? Not many might be aware that many years ago; American Senator Ted Kennedy (sibling of president John F Kennedy) was also apprehended at an airport on a domestic air travel.
SRK’s detention, which has formed something of a global episode and the most important caption story in India, originates from his last name supposedly corresponding one on one of the varied America’s Most wanteds. all such cries of prejudice from politicians and celebrities verify the veneration of VIP rank in India. SRK shouldn't have been apprehended. He's a super star after all?! Just Google his name and you will know! I concur, detention must be infuriating. It's not amusing. It's even kind of frightening. But there are a lot more frightening things than being detained a couple hours at an airport. For instance, being assaulted by brutal suicide bombers!
I feel all this mêlée won't in fact modify the racial profiling in the America, particularly when it appears like SRK is throwing a rage tinker. He asserts: "But I'm a Superstar!" the security officer replies, "Come with me." It appears like, what SRK wanted to hear was: "OMG, sir, I am terribly sorry, please pardon me. I should have recognized you. You are the star who dances even superior than the Amitabh Bacchan!" And when the security officer failed to do this, he was doomed.
So does that imply that Only film actors should be excused from racial profiling, is it?
SRK’s ill-treatment may in the long time be serve in good light for him in America, as it will undoubtedly pull notice to the US release of his upcoming movie My Name is Khan which is due for release soon sometime this year. The hullabaloo from the Indian janta will certainly grow fainter over time too, for the reason that Khan’s incarceration lasted just a couple of hours. Eventually this episode reflects on to something that happens with so many people, who travel to a foreign land. Imagine if this didn’t occur to King Khan -the Super Star, but Shahrukh Khan the general merchant, or Shahrukh Khan the IT professional. No one would ever be talking about this whole thing in the first place?
I don’t really know how SRK was humiliated by the normal procedure of securities which most of we NRIs have to go through. This story is very regular and it’s improbable the Homeland Securities broke any grave laws with what they did. I wonder if King Khan is blinking the public trump card to amplify the pre-release propaganda for My Name Is Khan.
Whatever be the reason, the bottom line that all of us should know is – No one is superior to the public security.
Live and Let Live!

yeah, being interviewed and detained by the immigration at entry point is scary... Had experienced it once in hongkong.
@ Karlota - Yeah, I agree detention of any nature can be vexing. Same might have been for SRK. My point is that - while your detention in Hong Kong, did you make as much news as SRK? It's simply making a hill of nothing at all. Poor vigil at Airports and over all security in India pave a free way for terrorists to come freely and kill us at their own fancy as and when they want!
