<b>Detained for being a Khan, says 'humiliated' Shah Rukh</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Khan, 43, was enroute to Chicago for a parade to mark the independece day on Saturday when he was pulled aside at Newark airport on Friday, he said.
"I was really hassled perhaps because of my name being Khan. These guys just wouldn't let me through," he said in a text message to reporters.
After a couple of hours' interrogation, he was allowed to make a call, he said, and he got in touch with the Indian consulate who vouched for him and secured his release.
"<b>Absolutely uncalled for, I think. I felt angry and humiliated</b>," said Khan, who had just finished a month-long shoot in the United States for his upcoming film<b> "My Name is Khan", which is about a Muslim man's experience with racial profiling.</b>
A US consul official in India told a televsion channel they were inquiring into the matter.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't understand why this moron is feeling humiliated or angry. Hello , 17 Muslims terrorist hijacked planes and slammed on buildings which killed more than 3000 people. Even now lot of morons are still trying to harm US, Airport Security are doing their job. Sharukh Khan should show his tantrums in India with his inflated ego. Don't come to US.
I am happy, US is still doing good job, protecting sky.
