(CNN)  Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been detained by US immigration authorities for the third time, prompting allegations of racial profiling.

Indian actor and TV personality Khan, 50, took to Twitter to express his dismay.
“I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks,” Khan wrote on Twitter.
His comment had been retweeted more than 7,000 times and favourited more than 12,000 times by Friday morning, US time.

Khan has a huge fanbase in Asia and among the Indian diaspora.

Known as the “King of Bollywood,” he began his career in television before rising to prominence in Bollywood by playing everything from a hockey coach to an alcoholic in hit film Devdas (2002). He has been called one of the most successful film actors in the world.
As news of Khan’s third detention in the U.S broke in India, his fans took to social media under the hashtag #ShahRukhKhan to vent their frustrations.
Back in 2012, Khan was detained at New York”s White Plains Airport for two hours after arriving from India. In 2009, he was stopped by immigration officials at Newark Liberty International airport in New Jersey as his name appeared on a U.S no-fly list that is 80,000 strong. US customs officials said Khan’s questioning was part of a routine process.
In 2009, Khan’s detention caused consternation in India, with Aviation Minister Praful Patel telling reporters: “We will take the issue with the United States government strongly. Such incidents involving Indians due to their religion or nationality should not happen … we will not accept it.”
Khan is just one of several Indian celebrities and officials who have been singled out at US airports in recent years.
In 2009, Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh was detained at New York airport, and in 2003, the then Indian Defense Minister George Fernandes was strip-searched  in Washington Dulles International Airport.

I think he got fingered when he commented about his admiration for Pakistan and him being a Muslim. His comment took to the air, with some Hindus calling him an ingrate for the wealth they have bestowed upon him and then he turned around and admired a nation that kills Indians. Had his parents chosen Pakistan for him, he baxside would not be portraying illusions of the grand life of the Hindus. The Taliban would have kept him in poverty.  

Hilary Clinton, "Words matter." Not to Donald Trump though.
