Shah Rukh detained at LA airport: It’s KHAN again in US, followed by SORRY
KHAN – the four letter word spells trouble in the US, as Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan realised yet again when he was detained at the Los Angeles airport for interrogation. It surely is a lesson in humility for The KHAN of Bollywood who has been detained for the third time in seven years by US immigration officials, apparently on ground of his surname. “Whenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to America. The immigration guys kicked the star out of stardom,” Khan had said in 2012 when he was given a similar treatment. Khan arrived in the US on August 12 on an invitation from Yale University.
The detention of the actor has created a storm and is making headlines yet again. In a damage-control exercise, the US envoy has apologised “for the trouble”. “Sorry for the trouble at LAX @iamsrk,” US ambassador to India Richard Verma tweeted. He added that the US authorities are “working to ensure it doesn’t happen again”. “Your work inspires millions, including in the US,” Verma wrote on the microblogging site.
