BIG MAN GETS APOLOGY

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan tweeted Friday that he gets detained at US airports “every damn time” after he was stopped at Los Angeles International Airport.

US Ambassador to New Delhi Richard R. Verma responded with an apology in a tweet, saying the US government was working “to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”

His current trip is the third time the wildly popular Khan has been detained at a US airport. In 2012, he was stopped at an airport in White Plains, NY, and in 2009, he was detained for two hours at Newark Liberty International Airport.

“I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks,” he tweeted.

Celebrities and top officials in India are routinely given special treatment and often either avoid security checks or go through an extremely cursory check.

It’s not clear why Khan, who is Muslim, was detained or for how long.

Khan also joked about his experience.

“The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons,” he tweeted.

SRK should be happy he get stopped by immigration in the US. He is making news around the world and getting more fame. He can make more money by telling his story to the Indian people about his ordeal.
