Mumbai: Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan stopped at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport by the customs department. The incident took place on Friday night when the actor was barred from leaving the airport for expensive watches in the baggage of people accompanying King Khan.
However, reports suggest that the actor was allowed to leave the airport after paying the customs duty for the expensive watches. The actor had to pay Rs 6.83 lakh in customs duty.
Based on the reports, the expensive watches were found in the bags of people accompanying the actor when he and his entourage were exiting the terminal. The actor was returning after attending an event in Sharjah and had landed at the Terminal 3 of the airport on a private jet.
