Shahrukh Khan’s detention in the Newark airport was the main news of this week. What happened to him is unfortunate, but not unusual. If Khan thinks he should be treated like a king everywhere, the result will be disappointment. He should understand time will not be favourble for him always. If he thinks it is an ordeal, it came from above. Since he is under Saturn’s transit such problems could arise wherever he goes. This year is not favourble for him.
Salman Khan’s statement was absolutely correct. Though his acting in real life goes wrong sometimes, he talks wisely always. Because of a handful of notorious Muslims other Muslims have to suffer. All Muslims are not terrorists but terrorists are Muslims.
It is a pity that the computer at the customs red-flagged Khan’s name. US-created computers know only US icons and computers are familiar only with US names. Indian icons and Indian names may be malicious to the computers. But the computers know Khans coming from Pakistan, the land of terrorists. They have to introduce people of other countries to the computers.
As US officials say, India is blowing this incidents out of proportion, because Khan is an icon. If it was a common man they would have closed the eyes. All Indian people know Shahrukh Khan well but he may be a stranger to most of the people in US. Indian VIPs think why they have to go through the security check. It will hurt their ego. Why only VIP? Common man also wants to be treated well. There is reason to suspect even VIPs or VVIPs nowadays. Someone can impersonate celebrities. There are look-alikes of all celebrities. All countries are suffering from paranoia that triggered by terrorism, exceptionally the US, which is terrorists’ target. Instead of making US an enemy by doing a tit-for-tat, India should understand the situation.
