Shah Rukh Khan returns home

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, who has recently finished shooting in the US for his film My Name is Khan, was detained and questioned for almost two hours at Newark Airport in America part of what the US calls "racial profiling" to weed out terror suspects.

After his detention at a US airport sparked a furore in India, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan on Monday had 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".

In Houston, where he arrived from Chicago to attend a 'Meet and Greet' carnival, Khan who was "inspected" at the Newark airport on his arrival from India, said he respected the procedures the US required to follow, but maintained his experience was "not pleasant".

The actor, who had earlier told his fans that he did not feel like stepping on US soil again, said while everybody loves what America has to offer "but I think it needs to offer a little more warmth and speed in its processes".
