Renowned Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic residence, ‘Mannat,’ wasn’t always known by that name. In the 1990s, it belonged to a prominent businessman and went by the name ‘Villa Vienna.’ However, Shah Rukh Khan harbored a deep desire to own this magnificent property, and within four years, he turned this dream into reality.
Shah Rukh Khan, a stalwart in the Indian film industry, has enjoyed widespread acclaim since his debut in the movie “Deewana.” Alongside his illustrious career, he shares a blissful family life with his wife, Gauri Khan, and their three children, Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam Khan, residing in the luxurious abode of Mannat.
Interestingly, the journey of Mannat’s ownership by Shah Rukh Khan commenced in 1997, when the actor was captivated by its allure during the filming of the song “Chaand Taare” from the movie “Yes Boss.” It was during this time that the property, then known as ‘Villa Vienna,’ left an indelible impression on Shah Rukh Khan’s heart.
In 2001, Shah Rukh Khan materialized his aspiration to own Mannat by acquiring it from the esteemed businessman Nariman Dubash. Reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan paid a staggering sum of Rs. 13.32 crores for the property. Over the years, with the creative touch of Gauri Khan, Mannat has transformed into an opulent estate, now estimated to be worth over INR 200 crores.
Numerous anecdotes shared by Shah Rukh Khan’s co-stars offer glimpses into the grandeur of Mannat. Actors like Gulshan Devaiah and Vikram Kochhar have recounted their awe-inspiring experiences at Shah Rukh Khan’s residence, highlighting its exquisite features such as a colossal Radha-Krishna idol, state-of-the-art security measures, and advanced technological amenities, including robotic gadgets.
Indeed, Mannat stands as a testament to Shah Rukh Khan’s enduring legacy and his unwavering pursuit of dreams.
