Irfaan Khan stopped at several US airports

..."Actually, I don't use my surname Khan in films, but in passports, surname and religion are required. I was stopped not once, but several times at airports in the US.

Hahahaa.... What a befitting evidence for all the Fanatic secularists. Proof that Koranists are the ones to blame for their pathetic situation around he world.

Someone should send this article to Shinde and ask him who the terrorists are - Hindus or Koranists?

Why did this guy go to the US repeatedly? If I knew I would be mistreated at a place due to my religion, I would never go there.

>>> I didn't know the passport mentions the holder's religion. Post 9-11, profiling is a reality, but I haven't found the agents to be anything but polite. I also didn't understand what Khan means by telling his sponsors that he will go back if questioned in an airport. Does he think they can pull strings to prevent this? This seems somewhat naive.

Khans and the Koranists will be jealous of me and my name. I am mostly waved through like some VVIP in India. Despite all the inconveniences (my wife hates my long name) that my name gives, it certainly has definite advantages. I am impressed with my foresight as I came up with the name myself at 4 (got beaten up black and blue by my dad for coming up with such a name).

Come to think of it...this is the only frikkin thing that I can claim credit in my entire life.

Which movies did irfan act? Is he the son of older khan clan (feroze)?
is he the guy who acted with sanjay dutt in munna bhai? That guy is probably wajid something. He is really funny.

In this case, irfan is just frustrated. Give him a break. Let him whine for a while. He will ready to travel usa inthree months.

these bollywood douches feel they're special and are shocked when they're not treated like demigods by rest of the world. I guess such primadonna behavior is standard for 'celebrities'

Just a few critically acclaimed movies like Pan Singh Tomar and Life of Pi. None that you might have watched, so don't worry abt him. He's just another Sajid-Wajid-Something Khan.

Irfan Khan is a fine actor. I love him in comedy roles as well, e.g. the movies Life in Metro, Sunday, that one with marriage issues, etc.

I have been following him (and manoj bajpai), ever since their tv stint in the serial Svetlana in early 90s... not sure if it's the original name. (edit: googled, the show name was Swabhimaan). This was an afternoon soap that only my dad and I watched while having our afternoon tea. Kittu Gidwani's character's name was Svetlana. So that's what my dad would say, 'Arre svetlana aa rahi hogi... svetlana lagana'. Anyhoos, both these did either their debut in that show, or got major recognition before they began getting noticed in movies.

I can empathize with what they have been through but why are they (him and Sharukh) digging up old incidents that occurred 4, 5 years ago. I guess we will here from Aamir & Salman, next.

Religion is required in the passport? What country's passport does he hold? He is another Prima Donna like Anupam Kher.
