I just spent TWO hours in a holding area & this happens EVERY time. Unlike @iamsrk I don’t even catch Pokemon to pass the time.

Expressing annoyance, Omar said, “Unlike Shah Rukh Khan, I don’t even catch Pokemon to pass the time,” referring to the actor’s detention at the US airport in a similar way earlier this month.
