Gauri Khan Opens Up On Renovation Work At Mannat: 'It Will Take…' | Exclusive Shah Rukh Khan, wife Gauri Khan and their three children have temporarily relocated to a lavish rented duplex in Bandra as their home, Mannat, undergoes a renovation. Gauri, a celebrity interior designer, designed the entire look of Mannat herself. In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, she shared an update on how Mannat 2.0 is coming together. After solidifying her position as an interior designer with her flagship store in Mumbai, Gauri Khan is all set to extend her branches to Delhi too. She opened her first-ever Gauri Khan Designs experience centre in the National Capital, which is a by-appointment only service. While talking about her new horizons, Gauri also spoke about how the renovation of Mannat is shaping up. She said that work in her home is currently under progress, and her renovated house should come around in the next one year. At present, Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, and their children (Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan and AbRam) are residing in a rented duplex located in the upscale Pali Hill area of Bandra. The family has reportedly leased two luxurious duplex apartments in Puja Casa, a property owned by film producer Vashu Bhagnani. According to reports, the monthly rent for the space amounts to a whopping Rs 24 lakh. Two new floors are reportedly being added to Mannat's existing structure, which already boasts sweeping sea views and opulent interiors. About SRK-Gauri's home Mannat Mannat, the legendary sea-facing residence of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, stands as a stunning architectural landmark in Bandra (West), Mumbai, along the iconic Bandstand promenade. A Grade III heritage property, the opulent structure was once known as 'Villa Vienna," a heritage bungalow dating back to 1914, the property was acquired by SRK in 2001. He renamed it Mannat – a word symbolising a heartfelt wish or prayer – after associating it with his own journey to success. Spread across approximately 27,000 square feet, Mannat combines a grand neo-classical exterior with a sleek six-storey modern annexe at the rear. With an estimated value of Rs 200 crore, it ranks among the most opulent celebrity homes in the country. The interiors have been carefully designed by Gauri Khan in collaboration with architect Kaif Faquih. The home boasts expansive living spaces, a luxurious library, state-of-the-art gym, swimming pool, a private theatre rich in Bollywood memorabilia, multiple elevators, and tastefully designed bedrooms.
