Zayed Khan: Of course, we Khans go through this affectionate of abasement all the time. I've gone through it, Salman has gone through it. I'm animated humans are talking about it because of Shah Rukh. There accept been times if I've been with 17 humans in a aggregation on bout or for a cutting in the US. Out of these alone one gets bedfast at the airport. Assumption who consistently gets detained? And some Caucasian bully, who does these checkings by the book and thinks all Khans are terrorists, will acquaint you it's a accidental check. Acquaint me, how can there be accidental checks on 5 US airports one afterwards addition and in all of them alone castigation absolutely gets bedfast for added checking? I anticipate there's a big aberration amid getting defended and getting ignorant.
Iqbal Baron (TV actor): Such attacks on Khans is annihilation new. These things appear at American airports. It's time for all Muslims to let anybody apperceive Islam agency assertive in God and in peace. It's happened to me. Already I was to go to the US for a show, I was the alone one who didn't get a visa. And I was the alone Muslim. However afresh I activated afresh and I got a 10-year assorted access visa.
Shabina Baron (dress designer): I absolutely don't apperceive what happened with Shah Rukh in the US. But I absolutely get into issues at the airport acknowledgment to my surname. It's annoying. It's scary.
Kabir Baron (director): I was accompanying my wife in the US forth with the Morani Brothers. It was a flight from LA to Washington just 15 canicule afterwards 9/11. So the abhorrence and paranoia were not absolutely unjustified. We were cat-and-mouse for the flight to yield off talking to anniversary added in Hindi if some cartage complained that we were talking in a 'strange' language. Within no time two able-bodied FBI agents came on lath and took me and my co-passengers to the foreground of the plane. If they got to apperceive my name, they questioned me for added than two hours, googled my name for agitator links and again assuredly accustomed me to fly.
They asked me if I had been to Pakistan. I told them no. If I had told them that I had been to Afghanistan, they'd accept cool out. Two added cartage on lath banned to fly with us. So they were asked to deboard. So you see column 9/11 animality comes with its built-in assurance measures. But I candidly anticipate a allotment of the all-around abhorrence is justified. We can't accusation humans for getting batty afterwards what has happened.
Irrfan Khan: Added than the concrete torture, it's the wounds of abasement that never alleviate afterwards you abide such a alarming experience. It happened to me on two occasions. I was bedfast in New York and Los Angeles airport for accessory interrogation. I was outraged. I was told to agilely appear into a allowance for analytic and identification verification. I wasn't accustomed to talk. If I approved to ask why I was getting brash this way, I was told to accumulate quiet. I wasn't accustomed to use my phone. They said, 'No, you just sit down.' All because my name was Irrfan Khan. You can't altercate or rationalise.
On a additional break this time in New York, if I was bedfast I blew my top. I told this big Black American guy, 'Please bright the abashing about my character already and for all. Or don't accommodate me with a visa. I don't wish to appear ashamed to the US.' The guy capital to apperceive if it was a threat. I was taken aback. Mira Nair had to intervene. She brash me to never counter-question them. This is the chargeless spirit of America. This 90-minute apprehension afflicted me completely. Can you brainstorm what a 90-day apprehension can do to an innocent man befuddled into jail?
Dilip Kumar: Afterwards audition these awful accounts who wants to biking to such a brainless abode if our admirable India offers Kashmir's jannat and Kerala's beaming glory? God forbid, if we accept to go to such a country.
Eijaaz Baron (TV actor): I've gone through agnate adventures a brace of times in the US. While all my accompany breezed through clearing I was questioned and had to accord the abode I was blockage at, and for how long. My abode were even arrested by them later. This was afterwards 9/11. I assumption this affectionate of analysis is to be accepted by us Khans. We've to yield it in our stride.
