He isn't really much known outside the ABCD/NRI community in the US. Things might be different in UK, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they learned that SRK was a distinguished personality and stopping him led to a controversy at high levels last time, they should not have stopped him a second time. Any random guy on the side walks of Bangalore can write that program for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Much of the regular public in America can't even locate India on a map, hence don't know about a famous actor from India. Shah Rukh Khan is not known world over among people who don't know much about Bollywood or know anybody who follows Bollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering both of us have lived in United States for a while, maybe we have had similar experience, and perhaps you have an answer to this. You are right that most Americans wont be able to locate India on the map. That's down to the whole "We are greatest country in the world, and we do not need to learn anything" syndrome. I bet most Americans wont be able to place Germany (say ) on the map either. That's just lack of geography prevalent everywhere. That does not bother me much. What does bother me though is a lack of interest in India. Aside from the Fareed Zakaria's and CNBC's news channel about growing Indian economy, by and large mainstream America is still where it was about 20 years with regards to India. If you take a walk on Las Vegas strip (for example) it is largely the same (with regards to Indian context). Nothing remotely resembling Indian theme and two cr@ppy restaurants buried in a strip mall where Indians make a bee-line. Somehow we, Indians (NRIs and Residential) do not seem to have a dent in American landscape nor have we been able to build a brand value really. Have you noticed this too? xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
