The king Khan of the bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan was detained at the Los Angeles airport.
However, it is not clear why Khan was detained, or for how long. This is not the first time the actor was detained at the Us airport.
In 2009, he was stopped for two hours at Newark airport. He was released after India’s embassy intervened
While,in 2012, he was stopped for 90 minutes at the White Plains airport near New York.
Khan expressed his feelings about being detained again on twitter.
I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks.
