India, Oct. 26 -- Shahid Kapoor has become the latest Indian celebrity to get a taste of the racial profiling prevalent at US airports. The Bollywood actor had to wait for one and a half hour at the New York airport while his Man Friday, Mohammad Manjoor Allam (Mamu), was detained by the authorities for having a 'common name'.

HT City spoke to people for reactions. Singer Shibani Kashyap said, "Even I was harassed at NY airport. The US authorities are paranoid." Writer Alka Lal said, "One shouldn't mind getting checked. They are doing it for security. Even David Beckham was recently detained at an airport."
