Neil Nitin Mukesh’s Airport Drama: ‘Google Me,’ He Quipped When Security Doubted His Indian Identity

Arre bhai log, Bollywood ka ek aur masaledar kissa suno! Khabree Kiran is back with another filmy twist!

Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bollywood ke apne gora chitta hero, recently shared a tale that sounds straight out of a movie script! Picture this: Neil, in all his Indian glory, was detained at a New York airport. Kyun? Because officials couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact that he was Indian! 😲

Neil’s Airport Drama Unfolds

During an interview with Mashable India, Neil opened up about his bizarre encounter with U.S. immigration officers. While we were busy discussing whether he looks more like a Hollywood star or a Bollywood hero, airport officials were busy detaining him, despite his valid Indian passport. Talk about a bura din!

Neil was in the Big Apple for the shoot of the 2009 film "New York." But little did he know, his real-life drama was just about to unfold. He found himself in a four-hour grilling session, with officials repeatedly questioning his identity and nationality. Bechara Neil! 😅

Eventually, Neil, being the witty chap he is, decided to throw a curveball. "Just Google me," he suggested to the bewildered officers. Once Uncle Google confirmed his Bollywood credentials, the interrogation magically transformed into a chitchat about his filmi khandaan! From questions about his Indian passport, it quickly turned into a Bollywood gossip session about his dada, baap, and family’s legacy. Classic na?

The irony? This whole fiasco happened while Neil was shooting for a film that dives deep into the post-9/11 scenario in America. Talk about life imitating art, ya?

Kiran’s Gyan 🤓

Lo ho gaya! In Bollywood, it’s not just about ‘lights, camera, action!’ It’s also about ‘passport, Google, action!’ So, next time you’re at an airport, remember Neil’s mantra: agar doubt ho, toh bas Google karo, yaar!
