You brought the city in conversation...insulting Mumbai...

Also yoh choose to ignore SRks visits...if he was such a victim in Mumbai as you claim...he can packs his bags and go to Delhi aur Dubai...no one is forcing him to stay here...

People of Mumbai has always loved SRK else he would have never made it big...and he lives the city hence he has invested here so much...

Stop with your agenda of Non Mumbaikar...

I think he is talking about Shiv Sena and his statement during IPL. If that was the case I don't think it was any ting related to being Muslim.

And stopping at U.S immigration is because of U.S security policy, which every one has to face. Either one has to deal with it or don't go there.

^wat abt the MNIK controvery? didn't the Thackreys stop the release of MNIK in Mumbai? so much of police bandobast everywhere...German Bakery blast was after the release of MNIK...

MNIK ban happened due to protests over his statements on Pakistan and Pakistani players and because he had refused to apologise for his remarks.

TZP's release would've been protested against in Gujarat had Aamir not met LK Advani and set the controversy silent (after his controversy in 2006 which led to ban on release of Fanaa).

SRK is a poseur. He has made his millions in India. His meteoric rise to the top has been on the back of his own talent, generously supported by the secular and inclusive Hindi film industry, the city of Mumbai and India, his homeland. He needs to put a lid on it.
Or, he should say this aloud when he is schmoozing with the Ambanis and the Mallyas in their homes..".I feel sooo persecuted..."

Self-pity is his weapon. Some of his stories don't even make sense.

Shahrukh Khan exposes Indian secularism

Mumbai: Bollywood king Shahrukh Khan has exposed so-called secular face of world largest democracy India, expressing his agony he is facing for being born as a Muslim.

SRK wrote an article titled Being a Khan for Outlook Turning Points magazine.

Khan said in an article for Outlook Turning Points magazine, many politicians asked him to go back to his native homeland: Pakistan, after 9/11 incident.

"I sometimes become the inadvertent object of political leaders who choose to make me a symbol of all that they think is wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India".

"There have been occasions when I have been accused of bearing allegiance to our neighboring nation (Pakistan) rather than my own country – this even though I am an Indian, whose father fought for the freedom of India. Rallies have been held where leaders have exhorted me to leave and return what they refer to my 'original' homeland."

"I gave my son and daughter names that could pass for generic (pan-India and pan-religious) ones – Aryan and Suhana,"Shahrukh Khan said.

"The Khan has been bequeathed by me so they can't really escape it.

Khan said that he pronounced names of his children with his epiglottis when asked by Muslims and throw the Aryan as evidence of their race when non-Muslims enquire. "I imagine this will prevent my offspring from receiving unwarranted eviction orders or random fatwas in the future," said Khan.

Khan said that he was pressed to make the film My Name is Khan to prove a point after being repeatedly detained in US airports because of his last name.

He said he was grilled at the airport for hours about my last name when he was going to promote the film in America for the first time.

Yesterday, we published the cover of Shahrukh Khan's Outlook magazine, which hit news stands across India on Monday.
The magazine features a write-up by Shahrukh on 'what it means to be a Muslim in the Post 9/11 world'.
Below are some excerpts from the article titled "Being a Khan"
I sometimes become the inadvertent object of political leaders who choose to make me a symbol of all that they think is wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India. There have been occasions when I have been accused of bearing allegiance to our neighbouring nation (Pakistan) rather than my own country – this even though I am an Indian, whose father fought for the freedom of India. Rallies have been held where leaders have exhorted me to leave and return what they refer to my 'original' homeland
I gave my son and daughter names that could pass for generic (pan-India and pan-religious) ones – Aryan and Suhana. The Khan has been bequeathed by me so they can't really escape it. I pronounce it with my epiglottis when asked by Muslims and throw the Aryan as evidence of their race when non-Muslims enquire. I imagine this will prevent my offspring from receiving unwarranted eviction orders or random fatwas in the future
SRK also added that he became so sick of being mistaken for some crazed terrorist, "who co-incidentally carries the same name as mine that I made a film subtly titled 'My Name Is Khan' (and I am not a terrorist) to prove a point."
Ironically, I was interrogated at the airport for hours about my last name when I was going to promote the film in America for the first time.

Shahrukh Khan talks about his life of being a Khan

Shah Rukh Khan recently most unequivocally confessed about his plight of living in a world being a Muslim post 9/11. Shah Rukh Khan, who is popularly called SRK, has announced that countless politicians have asked him to go back to his "native homeland".

A magazine titled 'Outlook Turning Points' have provided with a story in the first person, which has been titled "Being a Khan". This has been put out in association with "The New York Times" magazine. The 47 year old actor has let his distress out on this matter to his readers.

The actor tied the knot in the year 1991 to Gauri, who is a Hindu. He has two children who have been named Suhana and Aryan.

Some passages from the published article of "Being a Khan" have been revealed. He made heart-wrenching exposs about some of the political leaders who have made him their target and objectified him as bearing all things that are unscrupulous about Muslims.

The passage thus reads, "I sometimes become the inadvertent object of political leaders who choose to make me a symbol of all that they think is wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India. There have been occasions when I have been accused of bearing allegiance to our neighboring nation (Pakistan) rather than my own country - this even though I am an Indian, whose father fought for the freedom of India. Rallies have been held where leaders have exhorted me to leave and return what they refer to my 'original' homeland."

Talking about his children and their names he said, "I gave my son and daughter names that could pass for generic (pan-India and pan-religious) ones - Aryan and Suhana. The Khan has been bequeathed by me so they can't really escape it. I pronounce it with my epiglottis when asked by Muslims and throw the Aryan as evidence of their race when non-Muslims enquire. I imagine this will prevent my offspring from receiving unwarranted eviction orders or random fatwas in the future."

He also spoke about the reason he made "My Name Is Khan". He bared his heart out saying that he had become so agitated by the occurrence of a terrorist, "who co-incidentally carries the same name as mine that I made a film subtly titled 'My Name Is Khan' (and I am not a terrorist) to prove a point."

He also added, "Ironically, I was interrogated at the airport for hours about my last name when I was going to promote the film in America for the first time."
