Khan Family Temporarily Moved to Pali Hill
Shah Rukh Khan has moved into an opulent temporary home in Mumbai's affluent Pali Hill neighborhood with his wife Gauri Khan and their kids Suhana, Aryan, and AbRam. Two opulent duplex apartments in the Puja Casa building, which are owned by the Bhagnani family children of filmmaker Vashu Bhagnani—are currently occupied by the family.
Real estate website Zapkey claims that the apartments are leased for ₹2.9 crore annually, which translates to ₹24 lakh in rent per month for the four floors. The Khan family is expected to stay here while Mannat undergoes renovations.
What is New at Mannat?
Mannat's renovation goes beyond aesthetics. A significant structural expansion is part of it. According to reports, Gauri Khan has requested permission from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) to expand the structure of a building by two floors. The built-up area of the residence will expand by 616.02 square meters as a result of the proposed plan.
Currently, the Mannat building has two basements, a ground floor, and six floors. The house will now have eight stories thanks to the suggested modifications, which will make it even more magnificent and impressive. All alterations must have official approval because the house is a Grade III heritage structure.

First Glance at the Mannat Renovation
Instant Bollywood shared a video of Mannat that has gone viral and provides a preview of the ongoing project. Construction workers are seen in the video securing ropes and getting the bungalow's upper floors ready for remodeling. Fans who frequently visit the landmark to catch a glimpse of the superstar now rarely see the once-vibrant and opulent home standing silent and deserted.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Busy Schedule
While his home gets a facelift, Shah Rukh Khan isn’t taking a break. He’s currently gearing up for his next big release, King, an action-packed drama that marks his collaboration with daughter Suhana Khan on the big screen. The film will also feature rising actor Abhay Verma, who recently gained attention for his performance in Munjya.
A New Appearance of an Iconic Home
In addition to being a house, Mannat has long served as a representation of Shah Rukh Khan's rise from Delhi to the top of Bollywood. Fans are excitedly awaiting the finished makeover to see how the updated Mannat will appear as the renovation ushers in a new era for the iconic property.
A few minutes away, in one of Mumbai's most prestigious neighborhoods, the celebrity and his family will carry on with their lives until that time.
