Here's what Paulo Coelho has to say about SRK's detention at US airport

Bollywood actor was detained at US airport for third time on Friday

It was last year when Shah Rukh Khan found a fan in Paulo Coelho for his work in My Name is Khan and it seems that the latter's love for the film is irreplaceable.

The ace novelist took to Twitter to show his support to the Bollywood superstar who was detained at Los Angeles airport by US immigration department officials as he traveled with his children on Friday.



The Alchemist writer shared these things are a part of life while referring to SRK's 2010 blockbuster.

The Fan actor was detained for the third time and said it “really, really sucks” but he "fully understands and respects security with the way the world is."

I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks.

As news of Khan’s detention broke on Indian television channels, US Assistant Secretary of State Nisha Biswal quickly expressed regret.

Sorry for the hassle at the airport, @iamsrk - even American diplomats get pulled for extra screening!

The US Ambassador to India also apologised to SRK. This is the third time in the last seven years he has been questioned by the country’s airport authorities.

Sorry for the trouble at LAX @iamsrk. We are working to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Your work inspires millions, including in the US.

Shah Rukh deserved Oscar for My Name is Khan: Paulo Coelho

The Raees star, however, managed to keep his chin up, as he shared his hilarious experience catching Pokémons to kill time at the airport.  “The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons”.
