Shah Rukh Khan Stopped At Mumbai Airport

Actor Shah Rukh Khan was stopped for hours by the Customs Department at Mumbai Airport last night over some luxury watches that he and those accompanying him were carrying in their baggage. Sources said he had to pay ₹ 6.83 lakh in Customs Duty before being allowed to leave the airport.

The Bollywood star was returning after attending an event in Sharjah and had landed at Terminal 3 of Mumbai International Airport on a private jet.

The luxury watches were found in the baggage when Mr Khan and those accompanying him were leaving the terminal.

According to reports, while Mr Khan and his manager left the airport upon completion of Customs formalities, some members of his entourage, including his bodyguard, were allowed to leave only around morning

Reports said packaging for six luxury watches valued around ₹ 18 lakh were also found in the baggage of the star.

Pehchan ke bhi dhar liya janaab ko 😆

Let me guess, this is also someone else’s fault?

He (and his entourage) should know that he will get extra "attention" whenever possible...

This rule is for everyone for carrying luxury items n jewellery.

You won't be paying customs only up to the aggregate weight of 20 Grams, subject to a maximum value of Rs 50,000 in the case of a male passenger. In the case of a female passenger, the weight is up to 40 Grams of gold, subject to a maximum value of Rs 100,000.

Good that custom officials were honest in their duties.. SRK n his team must already be knowing this regarding custom duty..

"He paid Rs. 6.8 lakh, which is 38.5 percent of the value of the goods. It was a duty and not a penalty, clarified the senior customs official. Meanwhile, the actor along with his team members, were allowed to go.

There is no red channel or green channel at the private terminal of Mumbai airport, hence there is no option available for declaring dutiable goods, added the officer. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain if the actor or his team had any intention of evading duty, hence no penalty was imposed by the customs department."

Lemme update you on customs procedure.

If you declare something on the form, you wil have to stop and pay duty.

That is the only thing the article says. SRK brought watches, and he had to pay duty.

Does it say ANYWHERE in the article SRK was trying to leave without paying customs? In fact, the article is cleverly phrased not to outright say that.

"According to reports, while Mr Khan and his manager left the airport upon completion of Customs formalities,"

Actually, I getting deja vu. 😆 *He and those who were with him.*

"The luxury watches were found in the baggage when Mr Khan and those accompanying him were leaving the terminal."

Reminds of *Aryan and those who were with him* ending up as Aryan carrying zero and the rest carrying some.
