Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is back at his Mumbai home, Mannat, after a rocky visit to America where he was held up for questioning at Newark Airport, much to the chagrin of his fans the world over.
Shah Rukh, who has recently finished shooting in the US for his film My Name is Khan, was detained and questioned for almost two hours at the airport as part of what the US calls "racial profiling" to weed out terror suspects.
He arrived at the Mumbai airport to a welcome from crowds of people. A big media contingent had also gathered. As he got into his car at the airport, Shah Rukh waved, smiled and gave his trademark salaam to the crowd
After his two-hour ordeal in the US sparked a furore in India, Shahrukh had on Monday asked his fans not to take the issue further, even as he said that America needed to offer "a little more warmth and speed in its processes".
Earlier, in Houston, where he arrived from Chicago to attend a 'Meet and Greet' carnival, the actor said he respected the procedures the US required people to follow, but maintained his experience was "not pleasant". Immediately after being detained at the airport Shah Rukh had told his fans that he did not feel like stepping on US soil again.
