"Name?"
"SRK"
"Passport?"
Passenger hands the immigration officer his passport. Officer opens the cover page, reacts with alarm.
"Hold on a second. Says here your name is 'Khan'. You just told me your name is 'Essar Kay'. Which is it,
'Kay' or 'Khan'?"
"My name is Khan. But you can call me SRK. Everyone does."
"I'll call you what it is says in your passport, Mr Khan. When was your last trip to Iran?"
"Iran? Not much of a film industry-...never been there."
"You look Iranian to me. And you got an Iranian name - Shah."
"I'm Indian, not Iranian."
"Whatever. Purpose of your visit?"
"I'm going to Yale."
"Where's your student visa?"
"No, not as a student. But an understandable mistake... I do look half my age. I'm going there to lecture."
"Then if you're a real Indian you should have an H-1B. Let's see it."
"It's just one lecture. I'm not even getting paid!"
"Letter of invitation?"
"Sure, that I can show you!"
Passenger pulls out a piece of paper, hands it to the officer.

Subject: FW: Uncle 2 Yale?
Dear SRK,
Please see the email below. Hope you can make it. You can take my plane. My people advise to land at a small airport. We don't want a repeat of what happened to you last time at Newark!
Best,
Mukesh

From: Isha

Subject: Uncle 2 Yale?
Dear Daddy,
Wud b gr8 if uncle can come here to give a talk. Can you ask him? Plz?
Officer looks up at the passenger, and says with growing exasperation.
"First of all, Mr Khan, this is an email, not a letter. Second, it doesn't even have your real name on it. Third, it's from your niece, not from an official at Yale."
"She is most certainly an official at Yale - president of the highly influential South Asian Society. But she's not my niece, I'm just her uncle and my wife is her aunty."
"What do you do for a living, Mr Khan?"
"I'm an actor. And a game show host. And I own a cricket team - like your baseball teams."
"Cricket? Those guys should wear gloves - it would be a lot easier to catch the ball."
"I shall take that fine suggestion up with the IPL rules committee. But cricket is just an investment for me. I'm really an actor."
"I only ever seen one Indian movie and you weren't in it."
"Let me guess, Slumdog Millionaire?" "Yeah. Good flick."
"That's one of the game shows I hosted!"
"Really? Then why should I let you into my country? The way you treated that poor kid was terrible."
"No, you don't understand - that was just the movie! I was the host in real life."
Officer opens the passenger's passport again and types something into his computer. The screen begins flashing. He looks up at the passenger and grasps the handle of his sidearm.
"Come with me, Mr Khan."

NEW YORK: Extracting multiple apologies from the US for the purported slight to Shah Rukh Khan, the ''internationally renowned film star,'' arising from his extended questioning at a small American airport, isn't enough. To forestall similar hassles for its many discomforted VVVIPS, the Indian government, through its embassy in Washington, on Saturday sought the state department's intervention ''to institute appropriate measures to avoid recurrence of such an incident in the future.''
The services of the thinly-manned Indian diplomatic corps, not easily available to ordinary Indian travelers, were pressed into action over the weekend to assuage the pique of the country's elite. The Indian embassy in Washington said in a statement that ''in order to convey the deep concern that has been expressed nationwide in India over this incident,'' the embassy had taken up the matter with the US state department to ensure it is not repeated.
Providing details of how the Indian diplomatic corps acted with alacrity to the plight of King Khan, an embassy statement said he had arrived at the White Plains airport in a private jet on the afternoon of April 12. Approximately half-an-hour after his arrival, the consulate general of India in New York received information that he had not been cleared by the US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) at the Airport.
''The consulate general immediately intervened with the concerned authorities for his early clearance, which was done within 75 minutes of his arrival. Mr Khan thereafter left the airport,'' the statement said, adding that ''the same evening, USCBP authorities, through an email to the consulate general conveyed their profound apology for the incident.''
While most Indians would be delighted to leave an airport within 75 minutes after arrival, a recent issue of the Economist described the paucity of diplomats in India's foreign office to carry out the serious mission of advancing India's strategic goals, providing a counterpoint to what its officials were tasked with this week. India's diplomatic corps is one of the thinnest in the world, with fewer diplomats in service than in New Zealand and Singapore. While missions abroad are routinely pilloried for being unhelpful to (non VIP) Indian nationals abroad, some officials agreed ruefully that the film star and his political and business associates belong to a different category.
Meanwhile, apologies poured forth from various US quarters including from the state department, where a spokesman expressed ''utmost respect for Mr Khan and his work both as an artist and a humanitarian'' and regretted ''any discomfort or inconvenience he may have suffered as a result of this incident.''
While maintaining that Khan was ''simply delayed'' by the questioning rather than ''detained'' (as described in sections of the media), spokesman Mark Toner denied there was any racial profiling involved considering there are tens of thousands of Muslims who travel to the US every day without being detained or delayed. He said the delay was ''airplane related'' indicating that Khan was not even allowed to disembark from the private plane even though his travel associates including Nita Ambani were allowed to disembark.
Toner also indicated that the incident could have been avoided had Khan alerted the US Embassy in New Delhi about his status and his program before leaving for the US. One explanation being offered for the incident is that Khan may have been on a wrong visa for his purported mission - to receive a fellowship and deliver a lecture - and US Customs and Border Patrol delayed his disembarkation which seeking to clarify this, triggering off panic calls from his Indian associates and hosts who were waiting for him in Yale on a tight program schedule.
The fact that he travelled on a private jet and landed in a small airport did not help either
In Canada security is tight too, but they do recognize celebs etc and thy can even be more strict than USA. But, SRK has come through these airports many times. So then it's just ignorance on the security people.
