King detained in an American airport
Well, of late I am not regular on my blog… I am trying hard not to make my self busy..but situations put you on your knees..
I finally watched Love Aaj Kal.. yuck it was…
There’s loads happening around. Good, bad and worse..
Good thing is Rahul Dravid is called back after his brief lay off.. EPL kicked off with Arsenal registering a convincing win over Everton. 6-1 is indeed the start that Arsenites and their die hard fans like me needed.
There are bad news going around too… Swine is mercilessly taking lives..
Around 700 people have Swine flu, all are waearing masks..But millions have Aids and many don’t know what to wear..
The worse news is SRK being detained..atleast for SRK and Kjo it may be.. For few it was worse because he was detained on our Independence day.. For Mr.Amar Singh it was just a publicity gimmick for SRK’s new movie “My name is Khan”. Politicians can say anything… I will not be surprised when someone tomorrow says the officers who detained SRK needed some publicity and hence detained him..
I would like to first thank SRK for visiting America to meet his fans and made their day on I-Day and memorable one..
I think SRK has a point here.. I am neither surprised nor do I feel SRK is wrong when he said he was shocked and saddedned by the way he was treated in the airport..Reason is, you treat him as a king one day and the next day you detain him and question.. I completely understand the embarassment one has to go through when called seperately for questioning..
However, had I been a responsible citizen, I would say the officers just sticked to their rule book.. In America no matter you are a superstar or a superman, VIP culture is not entertained..Come on man.. Dr.Abdul Kalam was also frisked and Narendra Modi was denied VISA..
Saluting a VIP and taking a superstar’s autograph when being taken to a court or a police station happens only in India.. And how would a common American officer know who SRK is? How many Indian police officers can recognize Will Smith or Jim Carrey..
If our government overreacts to this, it just proves our ignorance towards a nation’s security..
Just take the example of the U.S and us..
9/11 taught them a lot.. Though they have the highest threats from around the world it is still far safer than India..What have we learnt from the recent
attacks..Since the attack on parliament to the 26/11, we have been only learning.. For us learning never stops…
If we can ape their fashion, lifstyle, music and accent..why not something like this…
With a sense of humor when Shah Rukh said he would like to frisk Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox if they visit India, I felt happy. Not for what SRK said he would do, but for what India should be doing to safe gaurd itself..
And guys the good news is Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood actor who was detained for questioning at a US airport, has been invited for dinner by Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
