On a typical day, the bustling Mumbai airport resonates with the hum of a thousand stories. Yet, on this day, one narrative pervaded the air – that of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, held by custom officials for carrying high-priced watches in his luggage. The incident unfolded as Khan returned from his successful participation at the Sharjah International Book Fair 2022, an event celebrated for its vibrant literary discourse.
Arrest: A Snapshot of the Encounter
Officials at the airport apprehended the acclaimed actor and his entourage upon the discovery of the costly timepieces. The Bollywood titan found himself embroiled in a situation that required resolution through an imposing customs fee of 6.83 Lakh Indian Rupees (approximately $8,500.00 USD). With the required amount settled and the necessary paperwork completed, Khan was allowed to depart from the airport.
Aftermath: Bodyguards Detained
However, the incident did not conclude with Khan’s departure. His bodyguards were retained at the airport until the following morning, subject to further interrogation by the authorities. Despite the unpleasant encounter, the bodyguards were released without any charges.
Shah Rukh Khan: A Cinematic Icon
Shah Rukh Khan, fondly known as the ‘King of Bollywood,’ has an indelible influence on Indian cinema. With a career spanning over three decades, the 57-year-old actor has graced the silver screen in over 100 films. These productions, many of which have enjoyed immense success, have solidified Khan’s popularity and influence within the industry. Despite the incident at the airport, Khan’s enduring legacy in Bollywood remains untouched.
