Dubai: Close on the heels of Minnisha Lamba's tax-evasion controversy, Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu was briefly detained at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International airport in Mumbai on Thursday for allegedly carrying undeclared personal goods.
She was, however, allowed to leave the airport after coughing up Rs12,000 in taxes.
"It was just a routine check up at the airport and many others were being checked as well," said Basu in a text to tabloid!. The actress was returning after shooting for the film Players in London. "I paid taxes against some personal goods. I think the customs are doing an excellent job," The issue was sorted out quickly, she added.
Last Wednesday, Lamba was detained for 16 hours at the same airport after returning from Cannes Film Festival when she failed to declare jewellery worth Rs50 lakhs.
