Shahrukh Denies His ‘Detention Episode’ Was Drama

After his return from the US, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has said that his ‘detention episode’ at an American airport was not a drama as some people are making out it to be.

He said this upon his return while briefing the media about his ordeal in the US.

He said that he is not angry over what happened there, though he feels that the airport officials ‘went a little overboard’ with the questioning.

“I was asked bizarre questions by the airport officials. It wasn’t a drama. I don’t want publicity. But, I feel routine procedure was not followed there. We should not be treated on the basis of our colour or nationality,” the actor said.

Khan said that he did not feel bad about being questioned by the airport authorities, but what really hurt him was the question that they asked him several times: “Your name is very common. Can anyone vouch for you to enter here?”

At the same time, he rubbished all the speculations about his promoting his upcoming movie ‘My Name is Khan’ by blowing his detention issue of proportion.

“I hate people who rake up religious issues for their personal gains. I don’t want to sound pompous here but I don’t need publicity to promote my movie. I am too big a star for that,” SRK said.

The actor also said that this incident won’t prevent him from visiting US again.

He said that if a ‘tit for tat’ policy was to be followed then he would love to be allowed to frisk Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox.
