An exasperated Khan tweeted that the detention “really really sucks”, drawing an apology from a US State Department official. As the news quickly circulated on social media, US ambassador Richard Verma apologised to SRK on Twitter for his detention at the airport. Despite his unenviable situation, Khan displayed his funny side when he tweeted how he spent the time during his detention. Sources said the actor had not escalated the matter to the government of India or US authorities. In a second tweet, Khan said he played Pokemon while awaiting his clearance.
