Trust superstar Shah Rukh Khan to wittily hit back at something at the first chance he gets. In town at the launch of Arindam Chaudhuri's new book, Discover The Diamond In You, King Khan seemed to be in the mood to use the unlikely platform to cock a snook at the stringent security check procedures at American airports, of which he was a victim in August.
"I'll take my flag and put it up in America after becoming the biggest porn star of the world," he quipped during the event. Which left every one wondering: was SRK taking a jibe at his being detained at the Newark Airport in New Jersey, USA? His porn star reference could have to do with the strict security checks at US airports that at times involve extensive frisking and even strip search, many felt. The superstar's porn jest came in the context of Chaudhuri, while reading excerpts from his book, gave an example of Sylvester Stallone's journey from a being porn star to becoming a Hollywood icon.
Chaudhuri had also referred to how Akio Morita, founder of the Japanese electronics giant Sony, started his company with the big dream to have his country's flag flutter high on US soil."Shah Rukh has his unique and witty way to get back at people. And that's what he seems to have done by hitting back at the US in good humour," felt filmmaker Kabir Khan.
Added ad guru Prahlad Kakkar: " SRK has hit back at America because they only recognise porn stars and not real stars." Filmmaker Jag Mundhra said he is surprised that SRK didn't address America directly.
"What happened with Shah Rukh at Newark was appalling. Now, it's his turn to get back at the US in whatever way he can. He has all the reason to feel angry," said Mundhra. With SRK at an event, things can never be dull.
