Wow you must really think SRK has a shit load of influence and power over US Customs and Immigration. They must be fans you know? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE SOMEBODY DOESN'T KNOW SRK. 😲😲 ALL 7 billion people in the world have nothing better than to know about Mr. Shahrukh Khan..a Bollywood actor. They should be hanged if they don't. I mean come on ITS SRK. EVERYONE KNOWS HIM.

SRK goes to immigration..they say: oh my we're fans..lets detain you so you can make a publicity stunt out of it. YAYY what fun. 😃
US Border patrol is really going to waste resources and not focus on REAL security threats to make some sort of publicity stunt with SRK. Yeah. Mhmm.
😆😆😆
Ever think about this: maybe his name matches somebody who's on the banned to enter list? So he gets questioned again and again? He's not the only person this happens repeatedly to.


Yes, I agree nd have stated that, but it's only when he gets destined tht it is news, other bolly stars have come and thy have been detained but there PR don't go overboard on it. maybe he was detained based on your reasons. But do we hear about them? That's my whole argument. Do they go I talk shows regarding this issue. Why make a big deal over a routine process. I just know in Toronto airport where I worked , that security knew on his arrival..when Salmsn was in LA , he went through usual process and his whole coming yo LA was hush hush ..but those who needed to know knew.

I dont get one thing...why did Americans apologize? I mean it would be so embarrassing for those officers that their bosses went and apologized to someone for doing their duty. Or did the bosses think those officers overstepped their line?🤔

Now i m sure Those AIRPORT OFFICIALS must be knowing this: -

Shahrukh Khan who is much addressed as King Khan by his Fans will deliver a Lecture at Yale University on April 12. This has been a big honor for Shahrukh Khan to speak at yale university as earlier this was awarded only to head of the states and noble prize winners.

^^^ If not SRK, they must be knowing about YALE??

head of states and noble prize winners speak for graduation/special TED occasions/ or on a subject when the professor invites them in the class. SRK wasn't invited to speak to all of Yale students. He was representing the brown community. there is a difference.

If LadyGaga or Any other American Celeb would have been treated like this twice, then i m sure Americans would be asking same apology from Indian officers.

I m Sure YALE University don't invite any1 from the whole world for whatever reason, YALE UNIV was local to those officers, if not by star status, he was invited GUEST of America not any regular visitor or tourist.

It does not matter if they know about Harvard or about Yale or if Paris Hilton walks in with SRK stamped on her passport. The point is those officers were doing their jobs. His name must have aroused suspicion. So they detained him. They are not gonna sit there and google if he is SRK the mega bollywood star or if he is going to Yale to speak to verify his claims. That is not their job. They don't double check all that. Why should they anyway? They should be doing their jobs-cut and dry not making exceptions for special visitors.

I agree Himani. Sure, SRK is a publicity hungry cad. But there is no way the US security is in cahoots with him in this. There is no publicity machinery at work here, it was just a simple detention procedure. That conspiracy theory is ridiculous. 😆😆

SRK is not such a huge name. Why would everyone in the world know who SRK is? 😆


Now its another matter altogether that Indian media is milking this for all its worth. 🤪

Haha exactly. This was the conspiracy theory people had around MNIK time as well..and I was like...this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Why on earth will US Security be in cahoots with a measly actor? 😆 Certainly they've got more important things to worry about. He definitely milked what happened for publicity that time. I agree 100% there.
But this time? He's done nothing actually except make a few jokes..hillarious, typical SRK ones if I may say so 😛 "If I feel too arrogant, I take a trip to the US..they know how to tke the star out of stardom" 😆 "Next time, I'll tell them I'm white" 😆😆
Now..its not his fault the desi Government, the media, and Bollywood actors are milking it for all its worth. 😕
What a pity..this totally took away from his speech, which was actually nice. The end bits about failure were so very true...those were the real gems. A little bit all over the place but delivered nicely..I thought.

I know, you right. Why apologize as everyone here saying tht it's routine. Do lay people eho get detained get an apology on being questioned ? He got it because he's a celebrity. So treatment is not the same.

Not really. Americans would probably laugh at it. When Bush was thrown the shoe in Iraq by that crazy reporter...there was no angry demand for public apology by the Americans. Not that I remember anyway. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

He recently had his comeback hit with Sitaare Zameen Par. Shahrukh and Salman are nowhere to be seen. Aamir Khan will also be producing that...
