This is for the hue and cry about SRK being detained by US immigration, now what is the big deal about it. He is an Indian and that is what those officers knew about him.
Do you think each and everyone in this world knows about SRK, is he god. Do you think if Brad Pitt comes to India unannounced, the Jat immigration officer at Delhi airport would even recognize him, so same thing happened to SRK in America. But the thing is that our officer wouldn’t dare touch an American, forget detaining him because we are afraid of Goras.
For India’s sake be practical, contrary to what is told to us by media, very few people knows about Indian film industry outside India. It’s not the fault of US authorities; it’s our own fault because we, like Americans, always look up to USA and look down on India. We imitate America and Americans; look around, there is America everywhere, our clothes, our shampoos, our cars, our homes, our language, there is more of America in our news, in our lives than India.
We are rightfully treated for what we are, the FAKE AMERICANS. We try to get Oscar award as if that is the end of the world (remember Slum dog Millionaire and excited Anil Kapoor and A R Rehman), come on it’s just another award, why don’t we raise our standard to a level where Hollywood would send their movies to India for getting award. Imitators were and will always be treated in the manner SRK was treated. SRK was once asked about he being acting in Hollywood movies, replied that he would rather be a “king in hell than a slave in heaven”, so, when he himself describes this industry as hell what can he expect from an American. We love being ruled by America.
It sounds harsh but it’s the truth. Now, when Richard Gare or anyone from Hollywood comes to India, they will announce it to whole world, our media will show 24x7 coverage of whatever they do, they will be escorted by DIGs and IGs, they will be invited in our film award functions and hugged by Shettys and Godrejs, but when our guys go there, no Gora will come to airport to their rescue. Talk about racism and I will say India is on top of the list, everyone has heard about Davis Cup agony, I personally have been through this racism thing, while coming back to India I and other fellow Indians were looked suspiciously by immigration officer at Mumbai airport while all those Goras were greeted with smile and their passports stamped in seconds.
When we go to USA we pray for getting out without trouble and when American comes to India we (airport authorities) still pray for getting them out of airport without any trouble. So basically we are afraid of them in their country as well as in our own country, it’s in our blood. It’s the fact that every one of us wants to be them but will keep denying. All this Bollywood( the name of our industry itself is a JOKE) guys and even every other Indian want to show their Fendi bags , CK suits, Varsace gowns, Levis jeans and all possible stuff but when they were asked they will without fail say that they love India and love being Indian.
I wonder why Hindi film actors find it so difficult to speak in Hindi when interviewed when Hindi is their bread and butter, if asked they will always tell 10 Hollywood names as their favourite plus Sholay to avoid getting in controversies. We live double life, but when we are made aware to this fact, like SRK was made, than we will lift tricolour and start showing our fake love for our country. Lastly the worst part is that even after so much of humiliation; when SRK will come back to India he will still find some excuse to shield American authorities.
