As Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was detained by US Immigration official for the third time in the United States on Friday at the Los Angeles International Airport, Twitterati was quick to react before the US officials issued a statement on the issue.
I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks.

Some were quick to take a side and expressed their disappointment with the US officials.

@Atheist_Krishna SRK was detained because the LA airport authorities thought that he belong to one of the rare species of Pokèmon
