KJo, Priyanka feel terrible for SRK

"I'm shocked and upset...feeling terrible for Shah Rukh," said Karan Johar, after his friend actor Shah Rukh Khan was detained at a US airport for having the last name 'Khan'.
 
Actress Priyanka Chopra also tweeted, "Shocking, disturbing and downright disgraceful. It's such behavior that fuels hatred and racism. SRK's a world figure for God's sake. GET REAL!!"
 
In an earlier post on Independence Day, Karan wrote, Freedom...underrated...often misused...and always taken for granted...respect it and honour it...today and forever!"
 
Music director Vishal Dadlani (of Vishal-Shekhar fame) also posted, "This is plain silly!! I mean, a quick internet search would tell them what they need to know about SRK!! Paranoia breeds stupidity, I guess!"
 
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh told a channel, "The US has developed religious paranoia over the years. My guard was also denied a visa because he has the same last name as mine. They said I can't use my phone."
 
Shah Rukh was detained for over two hours at the Newark airport, New Jersey. He was released after Indian embassy officials vouched for him. He was in the US to attend Independence Day celebrations.
 
The star, who is currently filming for My Name is Khan, underwent "humiliating" questioning even as he told authorities he was an Indian celebrity. His bodyguards were also grilled.
 
Several Bollywood celebs are in the US for I-Day celebrations, including Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec
