Anushka Sharma, who was detained by the Customs at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai was finally let go after 9 hours of questioning.

The ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ actress who was returning from Toronto after attending the IIFA film festival was detained by Deputy Commissioner of Customs Sameer Wankhede while passing through the green channel.

Apparently Anushka Sharma was carrying diamond and gold jewelry along with 2 watches that add up roughly add up to 35 lakh rupees which were unaccounted for.

Anushka Sharma claimed that she carried them from India and had made a claim then which means that she need not pay the duty. But the officials are verifying the documents and have recorded her statement. She might even be asked to appear for further questioning later.

Actress Minissha Lamba was also stopped by customs in May for undeclared jewelry. Bipasha Basu too was detained recently.
