 In the 1990s Mannat belonged to a Parsi man of Gujarati-origin, who Shah Rukh Khan knew as a neighbour.

Prior to being called ‘Mannat’, the posh house was originally named as ‘Villa Vienna’ by its original owner Kekoo Gandhy.

Shah Rukh Khan bought Mannat from Keeko Gandhy in 2001 at a whopping amount of INR 13.32 crore, which is equivalent to INR. 350 crore today.

The abode’s second wing is even more interesting as it consists of a luxurious lounge for story sittings, a kitchen, a series of offices and studios where SRK often works.

SRK's mansion Mannat is one of the most sought after residences in the world. It ranks at number 10 in the list of top houses across the globe.

Moreover, it is said that the mansion can house up to 225 people at once.

Shah Rukh Khan has deemed his fancy abode as one of the things that holds immense sentimental value for him.

He was once quoted as saying, “The most difficult job I have done in my life is buying this house. I always tell my colleagues that they can take away everything, my money, my cars, but not my house. It’s for the safety of my family, it’s for my children.”
