Shah Rukh Khan detained in US airport

[disciple]

India has asked the US to explain why a leading Bollywood film star was allegedly detained for two hours at Newark airport, which serves New York.

Shah Rukh Khan, who was released after India's embassy in the US intervened, said he felt angry and humiliated.

The actor, who is promoting a film on racial profiling, said he was stopped because he had a Muslim name.

But US customs officials denied that Mr Khan had been detained, saying he was questioned for 66 minute

I wonder if they got his autograph... 66 minutes is pretty long, but then Beenie man and man Jamaican artists are also detained regularly, know someone that was 'pulled aside' and the room they put said person in, beenie man was sitting there normal normal, apparently its quite regular for him XD
