Shah Rukh Khan says he doesn't have a room in 27,000 sq ft Mannat. Here's all about the Rs 200 cr bunglow that's once offered to Salman Khan

With Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday around the corner, Mumbai is turning into a pilgrimage site for die-hard SRK fans. Crowds are reportedly flying in from across the country to celebrate their idol’s big day — and one lucky fan took things to the next level with a cheeky question for the birthday boy himself.

During his trademark #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), the superstar was flooded with questions about his upcoming film King, his personal life, and his Bollywood buddies. But one fan’s daring tweet stole the spotlight:
“Sir, apke birthday ke liye Mumbai pahaunch gaye he… lekin room ni mil rahi. Mannat pe ek room milega kya sir?”


SRK’s response? Pure gold. “Mannat mein toh mere paas bhi room nahi hai aaj kal… Bhaade pe reh raha hoon!!!”

Mannat Gets a Makeover

Turns out, the King of Bollywood wasn’t joking! Reports reveal that SRK’s iconic sea-facing bungalow, Mannat, is currently under renovation. In the meantime, the actor is said to be renting two luxury duplexes in Mumbai’s upscale Pali Hill area — at a staggering Rs 24.15 lakh per month, totalling nearly Rs 2.9 crore a year. The superstar will reportedly be living on rent for the next three years, until the renovation is complete.

As fans eagerly wait to see if Khan will continue his birthday tradition of greeting fans from Mannat’s gates, one asked him directly: “Sir, iss baar Mannat pe fans ko greet karne aaoge?” SRK quipped back, “Of course, but I may have to wear a hard hat!!!”

All about Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat

Mannat, originally known as Villa Viena, was constructed in 1914 and purchased by Khan in 2001 after being initially offered to Salman Khan. The six-storeyed mansion, spanning 27,000 sq ft, blends vintage and modern architecture, reflecting Indian culture within and attracting a sea of fans outside. Mannat is considered one of the most expensive homes in India, with a reported worth of around Rs 200 crores, and has become a significant landmark contributing to Mumbai's tourism.

The mansion's design incorporates a blend of vintage and modern architectural styles. Its exterior features a white facade with Gothic-style windows, leading to lush green gardens. A grand gate bearing Shah Rukh Khan's initials, "SRK," guards the entrance.

Inside, Mannat is adorned with rare artifacts and antiques collected from around the globe. A lifelike Marilyn Monroe statue is among the decorative elements. The grand living room is characterized by high ceilings, chandeliers, and plush sofas. The dining room features a large wooden table designed to host gatherings of up to 30 guests.

The residence comprises six uniquely designed bedrooms. The master suite offers a balcony with views of the Arabian Sea. Mannat also includes a prayer room, described as a serene space decorated with intricate Islamic art and religious artifacts, reflecting Khan's devout nature.

Additional amenities within Mannat cater to various interests and well-being. A well-equipped gym provides sea views. A library is stocked with a diverse collection of books. A bar is available, and a luxurious movie theatre allows Khan to indulge his passion for cinema. For recreation, a pool room displays Hollywood memorabilia. The expansive terrace serves as a venue for gatherings, offering panoramic sea views. A spacious car park is also part of the property, reportedly housing Khan's collection of luxury automobiles.

The history of Mannat dates back to 1914 when it was built as Villa Viena, a large bungalow with a garden owned by a Parsi family. In the 1990s, a real estate firm purchased Villa Viena. This firm initially offered the bungalow to Salman Khan before it was eventually bought by Shah Rukh Khan in 2001. Salman Khan has mentioned that Mannat was initially offered to him, but his father advised against buying such a large house at the beginning of his career.
