The Customs Department at India’s Mumbai Airport fined Indian Actor Shah Rukh Khan for carrying luxury watches when he was returning home from the United Arab Emirates on Friday night.
NDTV said the Bollywood star 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.
