"The officer who was on duty wasted so much time, energy and resources interrogating Shah Rukh that three-four terrorists must have entered the US within that time," Farah told reporters here.
"That officers wasted the time. They should have just gone and searched his name online and they would have known within five minutes who he is. Shah Rukh also ended up wasting time and the American government also wasted so much time," she added.
Farah, who was in the capital for the launch of her celebrity chat show "Tere Mere Beach Mein" to be aired on STAR Plus, said that even though it was a mere security check, it shouldn't have taken so long.
"What wrong was Shah Rukh going to do there? What were they doing for so long? I agree that there should be strict security, but when he had his passport, work permit, it didn't make sense. Just because his name is Muslim, how can they take so long?" she said.
However, unlike many other celebrities with a Muslim name, Farah says she has never experienced such racial bias during her visits to the US or any other country.
Farah and Shah Rukh teamed up in hits like "Main Hoon Na" and "Om Shanti Om".
