Shahrukh Khan at Newwark Airport

I think there is nothing wrong in the reaction of Shahrukh Khan to what happened to him at the Newark Airport. This is what is expected from him - if he would not have reacted like this, that is unlike him. This is very natural of him.

I being a Sikh and from Asia have gone through this during all my visits to US / Europe. The customer officers see us differently and it is very normal of them to go through another round of checking. I do not blame them at all for this.

They(US) do not invite us - we choose to go there - so we need to follow their processes. By such reaction we are only doing bad to our image. If US feel that their is particual religion / country which they need to be cautious of they have every right to perform all security checks - and they have been very clear about that for last 6-7 years. If we feel we do not agree with their approach - let us not go USA.

I cannot believe that a regular visitor like Shahrukh Khan is not aware / heard of these process of US custom and passport control office.

I would strongly recommend Indian Custom and Passport control office to follow such practices.

If a celebrity has done done any act of terrorism till date, this does not mean that no celebrity would perform such act in future also.

So when it comes to national security ------ ALL ARE EQUAL.

  1. That is true SRK style of publicity stunt for his next film "My name is Khan". I believe before being a star he is a born business man. He is no big than APJ Abdul Kalam, who had gone through the same situation and reacted in a cool and humble manner.
