In an emotional flashback, Shah Rukh Khan revealed the deep emotional worth of his sea-facing bungalow, Mannat, in Mumbai. For the superstar, Mannat is so much more than a beautiful house—it's a symbol of love, legacy, and the hope of permanence.
Roots and Reflections
-
SRK disclosed that purchasing Mannat was one of the toughest choices of his life, out of desperation for a home after losing his parents in his early years
-
He referred to his "house fetish" as an emotional quest, rather than a material one
-
The actor emphasized how Mannat represents safety that he wants to offer his wife, sister, and kids
Legacy and Vision
-
Mannat was purchased with the vision of creating a generational home, where his great-grandchildren would reside like an old Parsi family
-
SRK and Gauri Khan decided they would stay in Mumbai forever, so Mannat became the family's permanent residence
-
The house blends tradition and spirituality as the Ganesh and Lakshmi statues are placed alongside the Quran, demonstrating the tolerant nature of the family
Symbol of Stability
-
Khan further added that although his office or studio can be backed off, his home cannot be bargained for—it's the emotional stronghold of his loved ones
-
Mannat is where there are rules such as no calls except in secret locations like the bathroom
-
This unflinching self-analysis provides viewers with an intimate look at the emotional foundation of Bollywood's most iconic address.
