Shahid caught up in US airport drama

New Delhi: Like Shah Rukh before him, Shahid Kapur too has had to spend some involuntary time with US immigration officials who stopped his valet Mohammed Manjoor Allam at the New Jersey airport recently. Instead of leaving the old man to his fate, Shahid decided to stay back and go through the grind with him.
Shahid was in the US alongwith co-star Anushka Sharma, choreographer Ahmed Khan and other members of the unit to shoot for Parmeet Sethi's untitled venture being produced by Aditya Chopra. While the team had no problems during the first leg of their filming in Philadelphia, Allam was asked to step aside for questioning at the New Jersey airport. The session with Allam reportedly went on for 90 minutes. Allam has been taking care of Shahid since childhood and has travelled extensively with him all over the world. However this was his first visit to the US.
According to reports, Shahid sat through the entire session with him and even helped answer questions on his behalf, since Allam is not comfortable speaking English.
Shahid is the second major Bollywood star in recent months who has been held up at a US airport due to immigration problems. Earlier legions of Shah Rukh Khan's fans were outraged when the actor was detained at at Newark airport.
