Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan stopped at US airport

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has communicated his mistake at being "kept" by US powers at Los Angeles International Airport.

It is not clear why Khan was confined, or for to what extent.

The US minister to India has apologized for the confinement and said powers were attempting to guarantee it didn't happen once more.

In 2012, Khan was kept for a hour and a half at the White Plains airplane terminal close New York.

In 2009, he was halted for two hours at Newark air terminal. He was discharged after India's international safe haven interceded.

Khan, who flew into Los Angeles on Friday, tweeted:



But, the actor added, there was a brighter side to the "detention":



Although there was no comment from immigration officials, the US State Department's assistant secretary on south and central Asian affairs, Nisha Biswal, tweeted to Khan, saying she was "sorry for the hassle", adding that US diplomats also face this situation.

In the 2012 occurrence, the performing artist touched base on a private plane and was en route to Yale University for a capacity when he was ceased. 

An Indian government clergyman said at the time that this "strategy of detainment and expression of remorse by the US can't proceed". 

US traditions and outskirt insurance powers later communicated "significant" statements of regret for the occurrence. 

Khan had later downplayed the episode and clowned about it. 

"At whatever point I begin feeling pompous about myself, I generally travel to America. The migration folks kick the star out of fame," he told a get-together of understudies at Yale University. 

Khan has showed up in more than 70 movies and is viewed as one of India's most unmistakable and well known big names. 

The on-screen character is not by any means the only Indian open figure to have been singled out by US movement and India has grumbled in the past too about the treatment of dignitaries by US air staff. 

In November 2011, Washington apologized after previous Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam was searched at a New York air terminal. Delhi grumbled after the 80-year-old was searched on load up the flying machine, and had his coat and shoes quickly taken away. 

A year prior, India's then minister to the US Meera Shankar was pulled from an airplane terminal security line and searched by a security operator in Mississippi. The hands-on pursuit in December 2010 occurred even after her discretionary status was uncovered. A few reports said Ms Shankar, who was headed from a meeting, was singled out on the grounds that she was wearing a sari. 

Around the same time, another Indian negotiator, Hardeep Puri, was requested that evacuate his turban at an airplane terminal in Houston, Texas. At the point when the Sikh declined to do as such, he was kept in a "holding room", reports said.
