"I had to stay in immigration for more than 3 hours or so and I was stopped by the officers to board my connecting flight. I hold a German passport and so I do not require a visa to travel to the United States. But due to my Iranian roots, I applied for a normal visa as Trump has put some ban on Iranis and they do not get ESTA anymore and that's why they wanted to double-check on everything," she said in her conversation with a portal. Sacred Games Star Elnaaz Norouzi: I Was Born In Iran But I Am 'Made In India' - Watch Exclusive Video Interview!
