SRK , the undisputed king of Bollywood, has made headlines once again—but this time, it’s not for a blockbuster release or a red carpet appearance.
The superstar SRK and his family have officially moved out of their iconic residence, Mannat, to pave the way for a major and long-anticipated renovation. This marks the first time in more than two decades that the Khans will be living away from their beloved sea-facing bungalow, which has become as much a part of SRK’s public persona as his films. Located in Mumbai’s posh Bandstand area, Mannat is not just a house; it’s a landmark, an emotion, and a dream address for millions of fans across the world.
The move, though temporary, has generated immense buzz among fans and media alike. Reports confirm that Shah Rukh Khan, SRK , his wife Gauri Khan, daughter Suhana Khan, and youngest son AbRam have shifted into a luxurious rented apartment in the upscale Pali Hill neighborhood of Bandra. Their new abode, located in the Puja Casa building, offers approximately 10,500 square feet of living space—much smaller than Mannat’s sprawling 27,000 square feet, but still opulent by any measure. The Khan family has leased multiple floors in the building, including the first, second, seventh, and eighth, which is said to include all the modern luxuries one might expect from a residence fit for royalty.
The lease was officially registered on February 14, 2025, with a term of 36 months and a monthly rent pegged at an impressive ₹24.15 lakh. The property is co-owned by renowned film producer Vashu Bhagnani, and the Bhagnani family now shares the residential complex with one of Bollywood’s most influential dynasties. This move brings Shah Rukh Khan and his family closer to a number of other celebrities, as Pali Hill is home to stars like Sanjay Dutt, Aamir Khan, and Alia Bhatt, creating what could easily be described as Mumbai’s new star-studded hotspot.
The motivation behind this significant shift lies in the ambitious renovation plans for Mannat. The residence, originally a heritage bungalow before SRKÂ acquired it in the late 1990s, has undergone various refurbishments over the years. However, the current renovation is set to be the most extensive one yet. Sources suggest that the makeover includes both structural and aesthetic overhauls, possibly even an expansion that has been in discussion for quite some time. Due to its designation as a Grade III heritage structure, any changes to Mannat require not only architectural precision but also legal and municipal approvals, which the actor has reportedly secured after considerable effort.
The renovation is expected to span up to two years, during which the house will be transformed with inputs from Gauri Khan, who is a well-known interior designer in her own right. Her design aesthetic, which leans toward modern elegance with a personalized touch, is likely to play a pivotal role in shaping Mannat’s next chapter. There is speculation that the renovations could include newer smart home integrations, updated landscaping, and perhaps a refreshed façade while maintaining the vintage charm that fans associate with the residence.
As the family SRK settles into their temporary home, they’ve already been spotted entering the Puja Casa residence, making low-key public appearances that were quickly picked up by paparazzi and fan accounts. A recent video shared by Filmygyan captured the family arriving at the building, with Suhana Khan dressed in a cheerful yellow ensemble and Shah Rukh himself in a crisp white shirt, both exuding their trademark charisma. Their low-profile move contrasts with the enormous public attention it has drawn, a testament to how deeply embedded the Khans are in India’s pop culture fabric.
While Shah Rukh Khan is no stranger to attention, this move has sparked a unique sense of nostalgia and curiosity among fans. Mannat has often served as a pilgrimage site for admirers—SRK fans gather outside its iconic black gate on his birthday, waving posters, shouting his name, and hoping for a glimpse of the superstar as he greets them from his balcony. The idea of Mannat lying empty, shrouded in scaffolding and construction materials, marks the end of an era even as it signals the beginning of a new one.
