Comments on: I am SRK…SRK Who????? http://aditalks.com/2009/08/celebrities/i-am-srk-srk-who/ Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:27:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Adithya http://aditalks.com/2009/08/celebrities/i-am-srk-srk-who/comment-page-1/#comment-359 Adithya Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:09:41 +0000 http://aditalks.com/?p=1843#comment-359 First of all let me thank u Anjali for reading my article and writing a comment as big as my article :P I have watched these 2 interviews when they were aired for the first time and also the interview that he had given to Rajdeep Sardesai of CNN-IBN . I would like to clarify your doubts one by one. 1. You said that he was asked and he answered. This is my reply : He knows about Indian Media who get Hyper for every small issue especially when it involves such a big star like SRK, so i guess he could have just said routine check up and all and if was really offended by the questions that were asked then he should have taken up the issue with the Indian Consulate. Kalam was frisked too that too in INDIA and he never told that to anyone. It took 3 months for the Ministry to know this. 2. Second thing you talked about was the media.. I even wrote in my first paragraph which suggests that media needs to get over this kind of hype surrounding every small thing. I dont think the problem is with less reputable or more reputable ...Even CNN-IBN which has won the best English news channel award 3 years in a row had so much time catered for this detention incident. I don't think it was a case of misleading headline or anything because all the channels had to say one thing..If ever there was making up quotes kind of a thing then different channels would have had different scrollings which was not the case. 3. If he considers himself normal like any other guy then he should have behaved like one...Common man wouldn't have complained because they know that its there country(USA) and its there system and we have to go through such things sometimes. 4. Tiring and upsetting..well i guess he is a workaholic so he should have not felt tired and coming to upsetting part of it, i guess he has gone through a lot all these years in the industry and this was no big deal. 5. Just because some airport official guy had questioned him does not mean that the whole country is the same and to make a comment like i would not be going to US unless it is for work is rather childish..Mistakes do happen in every part of the world.you just need to take it in the right spirit. 6. He had said that i was interrogated because my name was KHAN..but in the interview he goes on to say that it was nothing to do with religion. If you just listen to the questions that he told in the interview they don't seem to be that offending too.. There is a quote "When in Rome be like a Roman"..So when you are in a different country you just follow their rules..He has gone to US so many times and this was only the first time that he experienced such a thing and that was enough to fuel the media.. I don't want to be sounding too rude to SRK but he has ATTITUDE and we can see that in most of the interviews that he gives. Hope this reply satisfies you and if not shoot back another comment :) First of all let me thank u Anjali for reading my article and writing a comment as big as my article :P

He was asked so he answered. You should be fimiliar with the less reputable of India's media, especially the entertainment media and how they rehash things over and over, often making up quotes or giving misleading headlines. If you want to judge SRK and his reaction fairly you should see what he says himself. I think you will find it very reasonable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbVxxqr8wuY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pie1n7pSWWQ&NR=1 He clearly states that he doesn't have a problem with there being a procedure and he does not consider himself above security. He just has a problem with the way it was carried out and why his fingerprints, retinal scan, and proper immigration papers were not enough to identify who he was and the reason he was there. And of course on an individual level, anyone who goes through this is not going to find it pleasant. That's a normal reaction, for a VIP or non-VIP. When someone knows they are innocent, they are going to find this process tiring and upsetting.

You know how it works in INDIA.I guess you can give special status to maybe the President and the Prime Minister of a country but otherwise everyone has to go through the normal security checkups. Americans might be arrogant as u say but then they were the ones who had to deal with 9/11..The security measures that they have put in place after that attack are the main reason for not even a single attack being reported from US after that..
