In conversation with Mashable India, Neil Nitin Mukesh revealed that it was during the filming of his popular movie New York (2009), which was ironically a movie that revolved around post-9/11 racial profiling. He shared, "When I was doing the film New York, I was detained at the airport there. They refused to believe that I had an Indian passport and that I was Indian. So it became quite big news that I was detained. They didn’t even let me answer or say anything for myself."
