NEW DELHI (AFP) - India on Friday lodged a diplomatic complaint with the United States (US) after Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said he was detained by US airport immigration officials for 90 minutes.
Khan, 46, who was travelling in a private plane to deliver a speech at Yale University on Thursday evening, said he was held by officials at New York's White Plains airport.
'Yes it always happens, it's nice. Whenever I start feeling arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to America,' he joked with students at the Yale event.
'The immigration guys kick the stars out of stardom,' said Khan, who boasted of some small victories when he was questioned under detention, such as fibbing about his height.
