Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter on Friday (August 12) to express his annoyance at being detained by US airport immigration authorities for the third time, saying the experience 'really, really sucks'.
The last time Khan, 50, was detained by immigration officials in New York in 2012, it sparked uproar among his Indian fans who accused the US of racial profiling, and led Washington to apologise. 'I fully understand and respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks,' Khan tweeted after he was pulled aside at Los Angeles airport.
'The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons'. As news of Khan's detention broke on Indian television channels, US Assistant Secretary of State Nisha Biswal quickly expressed regret.
‘Sorry for the hassle at the airport, @iamsrk - even American diplomats get pulled for extra screening!’ Biswal tweeted. US Ambassador to India Richard Verma on Friday (August 12) apologised and said the US was working to ensure that it does not happen again. Verma's comment on Twitter was appreciated by Khan who thanked him for his concern.
