    Satish Shah's response to racist comments in London wins internet
    Satish Shah replied to alleged racist comments in style

    Actor Satish Shah was allegedly subjected to racist comments by some officials at Heathrow Airport in London. His reply to that racist comment was humble and full of grace. He tweeted about the incident on the microblogging site Twitter on Monday. The actor's reply is winning hearts all over the internet and netizens expressed adulation over his presence of mind and calmness.

    Why does this story matter?

    • Racism has been an unsolved issue all over the world. Even though measures have been taken but the horrific ground reality has not changed over the years.
    • Be it the George Floyd incident or casual racist remarks, many are regularly subjected to racism.
    • Actor Shah Rukh Khan had been subjected to harassment at the US immigration several times in the past.

    Shah's reply to the comments

    Shah was traveling in first class and he allegedly heard a few officials speaking among themselves wondering how Shah could afford first class. Shah replied with a smile and said because he is an Indian. The tweet read, "I replied with a proud smile 'because we are Indians' after I overheard the Heathrow staff wonderingly asking his mate 'how can they afford 1st class?'"
