Los Angeles, Aug 12 (IBNS): Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was detained by US immigration department officials at the Los Angeles airport on Friday, the incident occurring again after similar detentions before even as the US ambassador to India apologised for the inconvenience.
Reacting to the detention, the 50-year-old actor tweeted: "I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks."
