While Shah Rukh Khan’s detention at the Los Angeles airport by the US immigration department is expected to leave his fans as miffed as the star himself, Twitter users have been quick at pocking fun at the unfortunate incident.
For the uninitiated, the actor shared the news of his detention at US airport on Twitter. "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 had tweeted.
