SRK’s bodyguard detained by customs at the airport, here are celebs who have earlier faced the mishap

At the Mumbai airport in the early hours of Saturday, customs officers detained Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s bodyguard.

Around 12:50 a.m. on November 12, customs officers stopped Shah Rukh Khan’s bodyguard, Ravi Singh, with his luggage at the airport. When the officials investigated the bags, they found opulent watch cases that were empty. Officials from the Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) discovered two expensive watch cases and four additional watch covers among other things during the search. Customs officials had stopped the bodyguard for failing to pay duty on the expensive goods.

After the customs charge was paid, the bodyguard of the Bollywood superstar was fired. At roughly 12:30 a.m., Shah Rukh Khan and his manager Pooja Dadlani arrived from Dubai and had already departed the airport. The authorities did not hold them. On Friday, Shah Rukh Khan attended the Sharjah International Book Fair 2022 where he received the Global Icon of Cinema and Cultural Narrative Award for his work as the International Icon of Cinema and Culture.

Security in public spaces has grown to be a primary priority, particularly at airports. Airport security is a serious matter that cannot be ignored. No matter who you are, you must pass through security.

While some people tend to cause trouble alone, others are frequently hounded without cause. Bollywood stars are also not an exception to this:

Kabir Khan

The director has endured his fair share of humiliation while being a well-known figure. He apparently spoke to his fellow passenger in Hindi while en route from Los Angeles to Washington, which the airport staff saw as an odd language. According to reports, the FBI officers humiliated him before checking his name on Google for any potential terrorist connections.

Nobody has been excused by the interrogations and detentions at international airports. And it also applies to Aamir Khan, the perfectionist of Bollywood.
Aami joined the Bollywood stars who endured the humiliation of being frisked and unnecessarily detained at airports. In 2002, the actor was detained elsewhere as well as at the Chicago airport.

Bipasha Basu

In contrast to the others, Bipasha Basu fell into this category somewhat erratically. The actress was travelling from London when the customs officer caught sight of the large shopping bag she was carrying. They arrested her right away.
But after producing Rs 12,000 as a requirement and realising there wasn’t much to keep the actress in jail for, Bipasha was whisked away.

Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty was stopped by immigration officials as she was ready to board her trip to Germany. She allegedly received a look-out notice forbidding her from leaving India from a court in Rajasthan. This came after she was accused of using profanity when she publicly kissed actor Richard Gere.
Shilpa’s name had already been approved by the Supreme Court, albeit the officials apparently didn’t know that. It took a lot of persuasion, evidence, and documentation for the actress to be released.

Preity Zinta

In India, it is unlikely that anyone is unfamiliar with Preity Zinta. The Bollywood dimple queen, though, once had to provide identification at an airport. The actress was travelling to Delhi for a business meeting. Preity was asked to provide identification verification by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officers, but she refused.
This reportedly sparked a little altercation, with Preity allegedly unwilling to back down. Preity finally found the necessary paperwork after a protracted and exhausting dispute, and she was allowed to board her aircraft.
