Imagine being turned away from the gates of your dream home, only to own it years later. Sounds like a Bollywood plot, doesn’t it? Well, for Shah Rukh Khan, it’s just another chapter in his legendary rise to the top. Do you know Shahrukh Khan was shooed away from Mannat once?

Let’s rewind to the ‘90s. SRK was still cementing his status as Bollywood’s ultimate charmer, and during the filming of Yes Boss, they were shooting the song “Chand Tare” outside the building now known as Mannat. Choreographer Ahmed Khan revealed that while they were shooting, the security guard of Mannat shooed them away. Most people would have shrugged it off, but not SRK. Instead, in his signature wit, he reportedly quipped, “Yeh khareed lu kya? Phir shot lenge”.

Now fast forward a few years, and that very mansion became his. Shahrukh Khan bought Mannat in 2001 for ₹13 crore. Mannat isn’t just a house – it is a symbol of SRK’s journey, from an outsider with big dreams to the ‘King of Bollywood’. Over the years, it has become a landmark, with fans gathering outside daily for a glimpse of their hero.

Shah Rukh Khan is leaving Mannat

Here’s the latest twist – SRK is leaving Mannat. No, not because he’s moving on, but because Mannat is due for a renovation. Since this isn’t a job that can be done with its star resident in the middle of it all, Shah Rukh and his family are reportedly shifting to a nearby apartment in Pali Hill.

Of course, this isn’t a permanent goodbye. If anything, it’s another chapter in the Mannat-SRK love story. And honestly, we wouldn’t be surprised if he returns to an even grander version of his dream home because if there’s one thing we know about Shah Rukh Khan, it’s that he always comes back stronger.

After all, from being shooed away to owning it, to now leaving it temporarily on his own terms – that’s what a true full-circle moment looks like.
