Shah Rukh Khan dreamt of buying Mannat for Gauri Khan, says director Aziz Mirza
There is a shot featuring Shah Rukh Khan in his famous song Chaand Taare from the 1997 film Yes Boss, in which he sings in front of the house that he now owns – Mannat. Director Aziz Mishra recollected in an interview with Radio Nasha when the actor pointed the house out years later in 2001 and told him he had bought it.

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. 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.

Shah Rukh Khan 's mansion, Mannat, is an iconic landmark in Mumbai, attracting fans from across the globe.

During one of these strolls, he stopped in front of a grand villa, which was then owned by the Bai Khorshed Bhanu Sanjana Trust. Shah Rukh, deeply in love with the house, made a promise to Gauri that he would own it one day. Aziz Mirza, director of the 1997 film Yes Boss, remembers those days vividly in an interview with Radio Nasha . 'Shah Rukh was staying at my house, which was very close to Mannat. He and Gauri were young and full of dreams. I remember they would take walks, and I'm sure during one of those walks, Shah Rukh promised Gauri that he would buy that house someday,' Mirza shared in an interview with Radio Nasha.

He faced many challenges, including complex legal procedures and issues with neighboring properties. Despite these obstacles, Shah Rukh persevered and, in 2001, managed to purchase the villa, which he later renamed Mannat. 'I clearly remember, once while shooting near Café Seaside, he pointed towards Mannat and told me, 'Aziz, I've bought that house,'' Mirza recalled. The purchase, which Shah Rukh finalized for approximately Rs 13.01 crore, was the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. A Name That Symbolizes a Dream Initially, Shah Rukh and Gauri named their new home Jannat, meaning "paradise," reflecting the dreamlike nature of their achievement. However, in 2005, they changed the name to Mannat, which translates to "a heartfelt wish or blessing." This name perfectly encapsulated the journey from a distant dream to a tangible reality. Today, Mannat stands as a symbol of Shah Rukh Khan's determination and success. The mansion is estimated to be worth over Rs 200 crore and has become a pilgrimage site for his fans. Visitors from all over the world gather outside the gates, hoping for a glimpse of the superstar. Currently, Shah Rukh and Gauri have temporarily moved to a luxury apartment complex in Bandra to allow for extensive renovations at Mannat. The couple has leased two duplex apartments, spending Rs 24 lakh per month in rent—approximately Rs 2.9 crore per year—while the renovations take place. Challenges Along the Way The journey to Mannat wasn't without its difficulties. After purchasing the property, Shah Rukh and Gauri poured all their savings into renovations, trying to bring their dream home to life. In an interview during the launch event for Gauri Khan's book My Life in Design, Shah Rukh humorously shared the challenges they faced in designing the house. 'We managed to buy Mannat, but then we had to rebuild it because it was kind of broken. We didn't have the money to furnish it… Eventually, I asked Gauri to become the designer of the house,' Shah Rukh recalled.

Shah Rukh Khan Once Promised Gauri He Would Buy Mannat, Recalls Aziz Mirza: 'He Made It Happen'
For Shah Rukh Khan, Mannat was once just a dream glimpsed from a distance — a dream he fulfilled against all odds. For millions of fans, Shah Rukh Khan's residence, Mannat, isn't just a home — it's a symbol of dreams fulfilled. Over the past two decades, the superstar's palatial mansion at Bandra Bandstand has become one of Mumbai's biggest tourist attractions, drawing visitors from every corner of the country. But few know that once upon a time, Mannat was just a distant dream for the young actor who had only begun to carve his path to superstardom. Back in 1997, while shooting Aziz Mirza's Yes Boss, Shah Rukh filmed the popular song 'Chaand Taare" right outside the property that would eventually become his prized possession. As fate would have it, during one of his strolls with wife Gauri, Shah Rukh reportedly pointed to the grand villa and promised her that one day, it would be theirs. At that time, the house was owned by the Bai Khorshed Bhanu Sanjana Trust. Recalling those days, director Aziz Mirza shared in an interview with Radio Nasha, 'Shah Rukh was staying at my house, Devdoot, which was very close to Mannat. He and Gauri were young then, full of dreams. I remember they used to go on walks, and I'm sure during one such stroll, he must have promised her that he would buy that house someday. Life was good to him, and he was fortunate enough to make that dream come true." Aziz further added, 'I clearly remember, once while shooting near Cafe Seaside, he pointed towards Mannat and told me, 'Aziz, I've bought that house.' Of course, there were many challenges — legal formalities with the municipality and issues with the neighboring properties — but eventually, he overcame them all." Interestingly, after purchasing the house, Shah Rukh and Gauri initially named it Jannat (meaning 'Paradise"). However, in 2005, they renamed it Mannat — a word that perfectly encapsulates the story behind it: a heartfelt wish that destiny turned into reality. Today, Mannat is estimated to be worth over ₹200 crore. Recently, the Khan family temporarily vacated the house to accommodate major renovations. They have relocated to a luxury apartment complex in Bandra, leasing two duplex apartments from producer Vashu Bhagnani. The apartments come with a hefty rent of ₹24 lakh per month, totaling ₹2.9 crore annually across four floors. First Published:
