Detained because my name is Khan, says SRK

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has confirmed to CNN-IBN that he was detained at the Newark-New Jersey airport on Friday night when he was in transit to Chicago.

The actor, speaking exclusively with CNN-IBN, admitted he was shocked at the behaviour of the officials at the American airport. "They said my name was common to a name that had popped up on their computer. They wanted contact numbers of people who could vouch for me," he said.
