Shahrukh Khan
was again detained at the US airport and was questioned nearly for two
hours. He was on his way to address students at Yale University. Shahrukh Khan was travelling with Nita Ambani
wife of Reliance Industries and few others in a private plane. Except
Shahrukh Khan, all others were cleared immediately. He was given
immigration clearance only after two hours.
Khan was to address
the press conference at 2 pm and deliver his lecture at 4 pm at the Yale
University. However, all the programmes were pushed by two hours late.
"Whenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself I always take a
trip to America. The immigration guys kicked the star out of stardom,"
Khan said with some sarcasm addressing the students at the University.
He added that he always has his "small victories" even in such
circumstances. "They (immigration officials) always ask me how tall I am
and I always lie and say 5 feet 10 inches. Next time I am going to get
more adventurous. (If they ask me) What color are you, I am going to say
white," Khan said.
Earlier, when Yale University officials was
informed that Khan was held, the officials "contacted and spoke with
officials at the Department of Homeland Security and Department of US
Immigration and Customs in Washington," the sources said.
They
added that Khan was "very very upset" at the episode and it "took time
for the university officials to make him comfortable again."
