Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has ranted on Twitter after being “detained” at Los Angeles International Airport.
The actor – who flew into the US city on Friday – has been held a number of times in the past, and admitted it “really really sucks”.
Taking to social media to express his disappointment, he wrote: “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 has been detained in the past – at White Plains near New York in 2012, and at Newark three years earlier – but he was able to see a brighter side this time round.
He joked: “The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons.”
Meanwhile, hours after actor Shah Rukh Khan tweeted about his detention at the Los Angeles airport, the US envoy has apologized “for the trouble”.
“Sorry for the trouble at LAX @iamsrk,” the US ambassador to India, Richard Verma, tweeted on Friday, adding that they are “working to ensure it doesn’t happen again”.
“Your work inspires millions, including in the US,” Verma wrote on Twitter.
