Shah Rukh Khan dreamt of buying Mannat for Gauri Khan

When it was pointed out that Mannat was featured in Chaand Taare even before Shah Rukh bought it, Yes Boss director Aziz said, “Yes, he was staying at my house in Devdoot back then, which is a few meters away from Mannat. He and Gauri were so young, you know how people say a lot of things in their youth. So whenever they crossed Mannat, Shah Rukh must’ve pointed out and said, one day he’ll buy her the house. Life is good, and fortunate that he made it a reality, I think about that sometimes.”

He also recollected how, years later, when they were shooting at Cafe Seaside, Shah Rukh had pointed out the house to him and told him he’d bought it. “I remember we were shooting a song at Cafe Seaside and he told me, Aziz, I’ve bought that house. You could see it from the cafe. I congratulated him. But later, he went through issues due to the municipality. Life is all about the ups and downs. He faced issues, but thankfully, it’s all well now. I hope he lives happily in that house with his family,” said Aziz.

Mannat undergoes renovation

Shah Rukh acquired Mannat in 2001; before that, Nariman Dubash, a Bai Khorshed Bhanu Sanjana Trust trustee, owned it. The Khans recently moved out of their home to allow major home renovations. They shifted to a luxurious apartment building in the Pali Hill area of Bandra, where they will reside for approximately two years.

Shah Rukh will soon star in Siddharth Anand’s King, which will also star his daughter Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.
