Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia in the US Department of State Nisha Desai Biswal has apologised for "hassle" Khan faced at the airport.

"Sorry for the hassle at the airport, @iamsrk - even American diplomats get pulled for extra screening," Biswal tweeted.

Her Twitter account says that the tweets there "are my own".

However, this is not for the first time the actor was detained. In 2009, Khan was detained by US immigration officials at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey because his name came up on a computer alert list.

In 2012, he was detained at a New York airport for over two hours by immigration officials after arriving from India in a private plane with Nita Ambani, to address students at Yale University.

In 2014, he was stopped for extended questioning by US airport authorities.
