You may call me a mega star, a celebrity, but basically I'm just a normal guy. But I'm lucky that I have access to friends in the (Indian) consulate whom I could call up. But there are hundreds of others who dont have this facility,' Shah Rukh pointed out.

Shah Rukh also denied that the detention drama was a publicity stunt for his forthcoming movie 'My Name Is Khan'. He said: 'I don't think that I need publicity.'

To Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh's allegation that he had blown the matter out of proportion to publicise his forthcoming film Shah Rukh retorted with a tongue-in-cheek reply: 'Amar Singh is unwell, and I pray that he recovers soon with a healthy body and strong mind.'

Commenting on Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni advocating a tit-for-tat policy with the US after Shah Rukh's detention drama, the actor said that her comments indicated that the government is looking into the larger problem.

Shah Rukh, know for his humour, also said: 'If you want to give a tit-for-tat policy to American actors, then call me to frisk Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox whenever they are visiting India.'
