Shabana Azmi who has gone to the US to shoot an American film was subjected to some racial scrutiny at Chicago's O'Hare International airport. This, when she was asked her purpose for her visit.
"I very innocently said I had come for shooting. The immigration officer was shocked. 'Whom have you come to shoot?' he asked me.. His shock was palpable. I calmed him down and corrected myself, 'I'm filming. Only slightly relieved he said 'Why did you say shooting?' he scolded me. I told him it's a cultural thing. Really, are we actors supposed to stop saying we're shooting merely because the word has alarming connotations?"
