With the worldwide fans as well as Indians going berserk on whether the treatment that SRK received at Newark Airport was a case of racial discrimination, or was just a part of the stringent security process of the United States…let just share some light moments regarding this issue..
My theories on why SRK might have been detained…
1. When he was asked “What is the purpose of your visit to the US?”, SRK might have said “Raam Jaane“( name of a movie of SRK with a song featuring the title), so the officials got confused and detained him
2. On being asked about on whose persuasion he’s coming back to US after leaving the country a short while ago, he might have said “KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKaran” ,
so the officials thought he might have suffered an attack of epilepsy and thus he was given special attention[:P]
3. During the interview,it might have happened that the officer was not satisfied with some of SRK’s answer, and may have asked him to show some proof of his identity which needed SRK to use the internet and show the officer his bank statements( or any other related docs), then, due to some unfortunate events, SRK’s password got hacked and he needed to use the security question to retrieve the password. There lied the problem: the security question was:”Who is my greatest enemy?” and the answer was “BIG B” 
…the immigration officer thought he referred to PREZ Barrack Obama (BIG B..B for Barrack!!!!!!) and hence suspected him to be some threat as a result of which he was detained….
Enough of stupid theories and some weird figments of my silly imaginations. I don’t know what might be the actual reason, some of my fellow bloggers also raised the theory of using this incident as a promotion of King Khan’s new upcoming movie “My name is Khan” which deals with a similar story of a person being suspected as a terrorist due to his surname and weird mannerisms (owing to a disease Asperger syndrome), which does make a sense since the timing of the incident (on our 62nd Independence Day) that too happening in the USA, which co-incidentally serves as the backdrop of the movie, is really immaculate and manipulative..if they really had the promotion thing on mind
..Also it might the case of extreme paranoia of country which was shocked by another Muslim and his supporters on some 11th of Sep, 2001. But blaming the second largest democracy of the world being racial to Muslims( since SRK pointed that his surname Khan was the major source of worry) is a bit hard to digest..cmon the Prez himself has a Muslim background..he was born as Barrack Hussein Obama…and as a matter of fact he still uses the H as in B.H.Obama…
But again on a serious note, may be the immigration officers overdid a bit…but SRK is just a visitor in the US, he may have a huge fan following all over the world, but at the airport he is just another guy…so the routine process seems justified…although one can blame the offiicers for discrimination due to the surname factor…but it is due to this stringent, at times harsh laws and security check process, the US has not seen another terrorist attack in the last 8 years..which is quite an achievement…whereas in India it has become a routine of being attacked by some terrorist group almost every day..Perhaps a lesson can be learned where the law stands tall over all individuals and where each and every person is treated alike irrespective of their achievements…not like our country where the in-laws of the erstwhile Railway Minister 
got caught travelling without ticket and when arrested, they actually demanded to be set free owing to the fact that “they are relatives of the Union railway minister” and the parents of “former Chief Minister” of the state where they were caught…Thus rather than blaming others, we can actually imbibe some of the good points that were brought forward in the SRK incident…why don’t the immigration officials back in India practice such strict checking rules for foreign visitors and foreign celebrities instead of harassing innocent visitors or fellow Indians by threatning them for bringing more valued items than being allowed (although in most cases people don’t actually cross the maximum value limit, but these officers are quite an expert in finding some loopholes, and threatens to seal all the items) and then asking for bribe in terms of foreign cash, and also other goodies which those people might have brought for their realtives & friends, as a compensation.
I don’t know what actually happened at Newark, and like thousands of other people I’m also an SRK fan, so if he was treated harshly, that was not called for…but if it was part of the process u need to bear the pain buddy and lastly as you have said a zillion times in one of your all time great movie: “Bade bade desho mein aisi choti choti baatein, hoti rehti hai“…So take a chill pill!!!!!!
what say SRK??????
