Twitter Jokes and Digs at SRK Detention Drama

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was detained at a New York airport for over two hours by immigration officials after arriving from India in a private plane with Nita Ambani, to address students at Yale University.


While Nita, wife of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and the rest of their group were cleared immediately, Khan was stopped and was given immigration clearance only after about two hours.

Earlier, SRK was detained at the Newark Airport in New Jersey. Khan had said at the time he was detained for nearly two hours at the Newark International Airport because of his last name. While the issue became big after US apologised, Twitter is abuzz with jokes:

@diore03: #SRK There was no outrage when Mr. Abdul Kalam was detained at USA Airport. Infact he cooperated wid dsecurity. dats y der's no other 9/11

@aarkaygee: #SRK: Bef leaving India for US SRK shld inform them in advance and mail his pic to them with the caption MY NAME IS KHAN.
