Her pet dog was attacked by 3 stray dogs in our society and in trying to save her dog she fell and broke her wrist. I want to talk to these dog lovers. If they doubt these dogs so much they feed them, they look after them, then why not put a leash on them? Ask the convenience store near the society - his delivery man has been attacked twice and now they have stopped delivering because they don't want to be attacked by the dogs."advertisementHe added, "I'm 80 years old and if any dog attacks me, I have every right to defend myself. That is what I meant. That is what these people should have understood anyway. Everyone's got diuretic fingers, you know, moving towards the mobiles, typing away messages, which is fine with me because I'm ignoring it completely because I know what I have written. This is not the first case where dogs have attacked. There's so many cases when these incidents have happened. It's not to attack dogs, it's just to defend myself and I have every right to."According to the same publication, Mumbai Police officer and senior animal rights activist Sudhir Kudalkar said the police have asked the actor to issue an apology letter.

Gauri Khan Rents Rs 1.35 Lakh Flat For Staff As Mannat Undergoes Renovation: Report
Last Updated: Gauri Khan has rented a 725 sq ft flat in Mumbai's Khar West for her staff during Mannat's renovation. The flat costs Rs 1.35 lakh per month. Shah Rukh Khan's wife, Gauri Khan, has taken a flat on rent in Mumbai's Khar West for her staff to stay in while Mannat, the Khan family's iconic home, is getting renovated. The apartment is located in Pankaj Society, one of the city's well-known residential spots, and is just 100 metres from another duplex she has rented earlier. As per lease documents sourced via the flat is 725 sq ft and is on the 4th floor (Flat No. 6). It's been rented from Sanjay Kishor Ramani at Rs 1.35 lakh per month, with a security deposit of Rs 4.05 lakh. The agreement is for three years and includes a 5 per cent rent hike each year. In April, Gauri had also rented two duplexes in Khar's Pali Hill for Rs 8.67 crore for three years. Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's Mumbai home, Mannat, is set to become even more lavish. According to reports, the iconic bungalow may soon have two more floors added to its existing structure. Mannat is a major landmark and a popular tourist stop in Mumbai. Known for its grandeur, the sea-facing bungalow is estimated to be worth around Rs 200 crore. According to reports, Gauri Khan has submitted a request to the coastal authorities to add two more floors to their current residence. While Mannat itself is a heritage bungalow built in 1914, the Khans also live in an adjoining six-storey modern building within the same complex. The new proposal aims to expand this structure to eight storeys. The estimated cost of the planned construction is a whopping Rs 225 crore, as per the report. In an earlier radio interview, SRK revealed that he purchased Mannat because his mother-in-law, Savita Chhibber found his initial place, a penthouse, very small. Shah Rukh Khan said, 'I am from Delhi. Delhiites are used to living in big houses. But in Mumbai, there is a concept of living in an apartment. Even if one is not rich in Delhi, he tries to buy a small bungalow." He continued, 'When I came to Mumbai, I lived in a small apartment with my wife Gauri. My mother-in-law used to say to me, 'How do you live in such a small house?'" Shah Rukh then said that when he saw Mannat, the first thing that struck his mind was that it resembled the houses in Delhi. 'I decided to buy Mannat on the spur of the moment," he said. Shah Rukh Khan bought Mannat around Gauri Khan's birthday in 2001 and took a huge loan from the bank to purchase the property. Due to a lack of funds, Gauri Khan herself designed the interiors of the house.
