And here come all the SRK haters right on the dot to jump down his throat... Well, I don't know about Amir and Salman, maybe they don't have any personal pride, but if I for one was questioned for 2 hrs without any particular reason other than my surname or whatever, I'd be pretty pissed too. And BTW, before all of you start attacking me, I live in America, people here get pissed if they are stopped by the TSA for even 10 mins for domestic flights and complain to the press any chance they get...

SO why shouldn't SRK be pissed, he is an international fig, anyone who googles his name would know who he is and that he's not an illegal or terrorist etc.This is the second time around and it's quite obvious that US customs doesn't update their records for ages (Believe me I know, I've dealt with homeland security here, they are slower than molasses!!)...I have nothing against customs and immigration doing their job to protect the country, after 9/11, we need to be extra vigilant, but a little common sense goes a long way and saves time as well...😕

Immigration takes a long time at a crowded airport. Maybe SRK thinks thats detention?🤔 Do they have seperate queues for celebrities in USA?

Lol...people know when they are detained vs when the line is long...😆when u r detained u are not let go like the others after the checking of the passport and visa...but made to sit in a room where an immigration officer questions you...BTW I am sure the people who get detained because of their names ...I am sure are not making fun of SRK...😆...and believe me there are a lot...

Truthfully im glad the US gov't doesn't take a chance.

for all the clebs tweeting. LOL this shows their true knowledge. BEING A STAR DOES NOT MAKE U ABOVE THE LAW.

"omg its SRK. whocares if we suspect him lets him go bc he's india's star". lol nooo thats not the way.

After 9/11 US is not taking chances and im sooo happy, its so freaking scary thinking about siting on airpiane still.

My dad is a sardar and wears a turban. whenever we travel he gets pulled aside and gets a special checking. At first i use to get mad bc in my my mind i would think thats my dad he's not a bad person". But my dad would laugh saying im your dad not theirs, and that their just doing their job.

can u blame them for always suspecting muslims/indians/khans. A lot of shit happened at 9/11. Still not forgotten

Again?!? Hmmm...

They mustn't have believed him when he said he was there to speak at Yale. Such an unbelievable scenario!

If not the actual reason, he could have spoken his way through it - like telling them he's there to speak on the harmful side-affects of smoking.. 😆😆😆

I don't think its a big deal.. two hours, meh.. he could have caught up on angry birds.. he wouldn't get 2 free hours otherwise..

i agree...everyone goes through the same...in all countries...everyone goes through the same...in singapore aamir-salman took nearly 2-3 hrs for their immigration clearance...even though those officers knew they were big celebrities...still they never compromise...what was the best part that both khans never complaint...n follow the rules of the regulations of the country...
if a visitor is in another country...they have to follow the laws n orders of the country...not the country follow the law n order of the visitor...n i feel india government should not interfere in US laws n regulations bcz they know what they are doing unlike them...US doesn't care a damn whether he is celebrity or not...
well for someone asking abt beckham...well football players when arriving in any part of the world...as a visitor or a tournament...the immigrations officer will have a email...they are arriving in such times n the landing of the aircrafts...so they are escorted...but even for that...they have to go through all the checks...of security n green signals from the officials of immigration...n of course national police...they come from special VIP gates...but then they too go through the same process...if suspected more than 6hrs detention...if suspicion confirmed jail n to be produce in court...no embassy can safe them...not even his country...that is how practice in singapore...thas the rules in my country...
minister...presidents...football players...rich man...all go through VIP gates but they are checked by the immigrations officers n national police...passport checking officers...
so there is no excuse...even brunei sultan has his own private jet...goes through VIP gate...but is checked strictly...
once i have checked a malaysian minister...i forgot his name...he was the minister of finance...n he was checked by me...we did a 100% checking on him...he had a small scissors in his bag...which is not allowed in the aircraft...so we had to confiscate it from him...took down his boarding pass number...passport number...his name...the flight number...the country he is going...for reference to hand it over to the immigrations officers n national police

Ah yes...this is what I wanted to know. See SRK arrived by a private jet and not a commercial flight. I think the Ambanis would have taken care of these formalities like sending emails etc as per procedure. But he was still detained when they could have done their homework. Anyways I dont think this issue is a national insult. And everyone should stop overreacting.

But with people like SRK types(Indian celebs and VIPs) you never know. I mean how many years ago he would have last stood in a queue? 25 years? He might have forgotten how it feels...
