A few days ago Shah Rukh Khan was detained at an U.S Airport for around 2 hours. Now,because of this supposedly blatant act of disrespect India's public at large has displayed a large amount of scorn towards the American administration. In a country like India where cricket is religion and people worship actors like Rajneekanth,Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, an act of detaining Mr.Khan is as good as an act of heresy.
My point? Do we not have more impending issues or are we just plain bored?Fine, Mr.Khan is a well known personality. Fine,maybe detaining him for 2 hours was overdoing it a little but really who the hell cares?!!!If there is a procedure then why make an exception just because it is Shah Rukh Khan. When you go abroad you have to follow the rules there no matter who you are. Personally, I am not a Shah Rukh Khan fan let alone a fanatic. I like a few of his films and I dislike a few. I have not even watched all of them. Basically, the way the issue was thrown vastly out of proportion,making news headlines and flashing all over the television was very irritating. It was as if people have completely forgotten about the misery of those in places like Georgia or the plight of those in Sudan. More down to earth,it's like people have forgotten about the recession and the flu all of a sudden!
Pryianka Chopra's comment that Shah Rukh Khan is the biggest star in the world is not a hyperbole.It's ridiculous!!He is not that famous and even if he is that does not give him the ticket to flout any rules. Even Mr.Khan did not complain a great deal about the whole thing.Well, we've heard of shooting stars but this is the first time we've ever heard of a stranded one.
