Underworld link behind SRK 'ordeal' in Newark?
If Sharukh lands in Los Angeles on Schwarzenegger's invitation to visit Hollywood next month, he will sure not be asked "bizarre questions" about the trip, even if his luggage gets lost. But, the sponsorship in case of the Chicago trip was bizarre
BOLLYWOOD STAR Shahrukh Khan may have said he feels like never visiting US again after being "detained" and made to wait for over 60 long minutes at Newark airport. Numerous Indian fans were overcome with a surging sense of nationalism after SRK complained that he was posed questions that were irrelevant and even “disrespectful.” Jingoistic worshippers of the film star were furious why Shahrukh did not return immediately? Before running like headless chickens any further, these worthies should just ponder one hypothetical question. Suppose a reigning Hollywood celebrity such as Tom Cruise or Johnny Depp makes a trip to say Hyderabad or Bangalore for a “cultural show.” Supposing the organisers happen to be under the radar of security agencies, believed to be connected with a front of the “D Company.” It is well known that Bollywood celebrities die to star in such events. Assume that the international star claims he came with his luggage missing. On top of it, presume that he creates a big scene, threatening to call the embassy guys or even some US Senator! Would he be pestered by officials for autographs and asked to walk the red carpet, waiving any security or will he be shown his place?
It now appears that such was the scenario at Newark airport. Lake County South Asian Entertainment Inc, the company owned by a London-based businessman Farhath Hussain and his Chicago-based brother Altaf Hussain, it is learnt, is under scrutiny for suspected tax evasion and underworld links. The “organisers” whom Khan wanted to contact before being inspected happen to the Hussain outfit.
Bollywood showbiz events in the US, before Lake County, were controlled by Elite Entertainment. Its boss Vijay Taneja was convicted in a mortgage fraud and had to wind up in 2008. With such “credentials” to boot, no wonder, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) refused to let the superstar walk through. To make matters, anyone who arrives without the baggage booked along with him is mandated to be further investigated. The royal air worn by the "king," noisily exhorting New Delhi VIPs and embassy officials to intervene and apply pressure, upped lingering doubts about his presence in the country that witnessed 9/11 catastrophe. It looks like every “disrespectful” question probing his sponsors had some rationale and the ultra-patriots may have to hang their heads in shame.
Ironically, a “light-hearted” remark of the superstar after undergoing the “ordeal” has escaped the notice of the ultra sensitive women’s right brigade of India. When asked whether he was such a VVIP to get offended at being screened, he answered in the negative saying that he could “frisk” Angelina in India anytime he wanted to. The grace shown by California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to his poor cousin from Bollywood is worth noting here. Despite the display of unprofessional responses when Khan had to be inconvenienced inevitably, Schwarzenegger is understood to have extended him an invitation to visit Hollywood in September 2009. For the record, the Austrian-American billionaire is a real-life bodybuilder, whose Terminator itself would have grossed more than all SRK movies put together. He doesn’t accept the Governor’s salary worth close to Rs one crore per year.
SRK hasn't yet commented whether or not he would accept the invitation of the second term Governor of California, which has a GDP that is one-and-a-half times that of all 1.2 billion people of India. If he does land in Los Angeles at the invitation of the Governor, he sure will not be asked the “bizarre” questions he had to face as the guest of Hussain brothers! And that has nothing to do with discrimination against Muslims, browns, etc! The least that Sharukh can do to salvage some of his credibility – and of crazy Indians who cheered him all the way – is to tender an unconditional apology to CBP for all the unfair accusations leveled on his behalf.
