While mixed reactions are coming in, I beg to differ & insist that the treatment given to Shahrukh was very normal and has always been done to the millions of people of who travel every year to the US.Even Indians or Asians who have been living in the US for more than 30-40 years and while travelling back and forth from India (read Asia) have also been subjected to such treatment.They have never complained.They have choosen this land which is hyper cautious at times & leaves nothing to assumptions when it comes to security.Shahrukh should'nt have complained as he is not a VIP any where else except in India.
But is'nt it exactly what security is all about ? As Indians we do seem to have a slightly different definition of Security and there are always exceptions to this rule.The MLA's,MP's and the Bollywood Celebrities are always given VIP treatment at Indian Airports despite so many instances like the recent one where a MP accompanied prospective Immigrants with false Passports !!
Ambica Soni wants a tit for tat treatment. Rather than streamlining our rules and regulations at our airports, she demands a Tit for Tat treatment. Such a Pity.
With Sharukh's 'My name is Khan' cmoing up for release -The timing could'nt have been better !!
