why are we so sensistive?

So now it is Shah Rukh Khan. Why cant we let people do their job and not scream from the roof tops that our egos are hurt when our heroes are searched or questioned in airports? Even Edward Kennedy was not recognised and he was searched. I came home after working with 200 children and with throat sore and switched on the tv for some news. Every Indian news channel had Shah Rukh Khan live talking about why they did not take his thumb print, why they did not do retina photo etc. While he was saying he did not mind being asked questions, a young reporter kept asking him how he felt being detained for one hour when the whole country was celebrating independence day! I am sure she has never asked how some girls are holed up in Kamathipura with no freedom of movement, how there is bonded labour in the country she is hurt that Shah Rukh Khan was denied freedom for one hour!!! she is bonded and has no freedom of intelligence poor girl! Go get some education girl. There was another who asked Salman Khan that he had said he was Kaminey in a film and to explain himself. She kept saying apne kaha.. It was a dialogue that he was made to speak girl. grow up. All it takes for the underworld is to make a film like Munnabhai for its own to be treated like the Mahatma. How sold we are to films as a nation. This is what shames me not airport searches and questionings.
