Shahrukh Khan is among  one of the biggest and most popular stars of Bollywood, and so it is quite natural his house, passionately christened as Mannat, is a place designed aptly where royalty could live in. Shahrukh and his wife, Gauri Khan originally lived in a three-bedroom flat in Shree Amrit Apartments, on the 7th floor, located on Carter Road in Bandra West. It has been said that Shahrukh was quite happy in this apartment, but he missed having an exclusive prayer room. This is the reason why he began to search for a new, better, and bigger house in the city of dreams, Mumbai. In 2001, his search ended when he purchased the beautiful bungalow in Bandra, Bandstand from one Mr. Nariman K Dubash. He was a trustee of the BaiKhorshed Bhanu Sanjana Trust. Mannat was originally a tiny bungalow. It was called “Villa Vienna” and a Gujrati-Parsi man named Kekoo Gandhy was its owner. Shahrukh initially wanted to call his house “Jannat” but after he bought it, all that he wished for came true, so he finally named it as “Mannat.”

Mannat Hosue Current Market Value (2019-2020)

When Shahrukh acquired this 2,446-meter property facing the sea in 2001 on a lease, he paid a whopping 13.32 crore INR. Ever since then, he has been paying a nominal rent of 2,325 INR per year. However, when the Maharashtra government revised the rates for land leasing in Mumbai and its suburbs, the rent for lease became 19 lakh INR a year, or a single time occupancy fee of 8.3 crore INR (which is one fifth of the land’s Ready Reckoner value) for full ownership of the same, was effected.

These facts put the official price of the land Mannat Bandra stands on to be 41.5 crore INR. Now, if we try to calculate the market value of Mannat today, we have to find out the average value of residential land in the neighborhood. There are no other properties as big as Mannat near it available for sale, but the adjustment was made by considering residential apartment prices as a base.

Shahrukh Khan House Price 

A normal Bandstand Bandra (West) apartment would cost approximately an average of 43,000 INR per square foot. If we consider this to be the base price, Mannat’s 26,328 square feet would come to a cost of a huge 113.21 crore INR. This is a standard celebrity value while of course, it is approximate. The location and heritage status of the house adds about 15% extra value to its price. Now if you pile on the furniture, gardens, and the windows that look out onto the sea, you get a royal-level mansion that comes to a magnificent 200 crore INR value.

It was a legacy building that Shahrukh did not own yet and belonged to Kekoo Gandhy, a Parsi man of Gujrati origin. Once Shahrukh managed to buy the house from him, his wife Gauri, being an interior designer, played a big role in making Mannat the house of dreams that few can get.
