Despite undergoing an unsavory experience of being detained at Newark Airport for two hours, Shah Rukh Khan enthralled his fans at the South Asian Carnival in Atlantic City.

It was a dream come true for his fans who had gathered here since morning.

Not only did Shah Rukh “meet and greet” people by shaking hands, signing autographs, but he also danced and performed on their requests.
Besides Shah Rukh Khan, the other big names, who attended the carnival, were Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Diya Mirza and Bollywood’s villain Gulshan Grover.
Despite the excitement of meeting the stars, Khan’s detention at Newark Liberty International Airport on Friday was the topic of discussion among the fans at the carnival.
Many could not believe that Shah Rukh was detained for so long as he is a frequent visitor to America.
Khan had surprised his fans by saying that he did not feel like stepping on American soil anymore. He, however, played down the incident later, calling it a “routine procedure.”

While thousands of fans reacted with outrage over the perceived slight to their icon, others believe that the incident was blown out of proportion.
Some also saw it as a publicity stunt for actor’s upcoming movie ‘My Name is Khan‘, which is about an autistic Muslim in the post 9/11 America.
