Mannat, the iconic bungalow of Shah Rukh Khan in Mumbai, is scheduled for renovations this summer. Reports indicate that he and his family will temporarily relocate to facilitate the work. However, the renovation project has encountered a setback. An activist has raised concerns about violations in the renovation plan and has asked the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to intervene and halt the work.
Activist Raises Voice Against Shah Rukh Khan’s House Renovation
Bar & Bench reported on Monday that activist Santosh Daundkar has approached the National Green Tribunal (NGT), alleging that Shah Rukh Khan and the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) failed to obtain the required Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance for the renovations at Mannat. Since the bungalow is a Grade III heritage structure, any changes need the proper permissions.
TThe report indicates that Shah Rukh Khan intends to expand his six-storey bungalow named Mannat, by adding two more floors. It also alleges that he converted twelve 1-BHK flats designated for mass housing into a single family residence.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has requested that Daundkar present evidence for his allegations. Judicial Member Dinesh Kumar Singh and Expert Member Vijay Kulkarni stated that if there are any violations by the Project Proponent or the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA), Daundkar must provide proof within four weeks; otherwise, the appeal may be dismissed. The NGT is scheduled to review the case again on April 23.
Shah Rukh Khan’s residence, Mannat, is a popular attraction located at Bandra Bandstand in Mumbai, frequently visited by fans eager to see the Bollywood icon. Situated in the affluent Bandra neighborhood, this impressive mansion has turned into a tourist destination, often bustling with admirers hoping for a wave or a photograph. On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan, who achieved tremendous success with Jawan and Pathaan in 2023, is now preparing for his upcoming film King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh. It is speculated that the movie might also feature Abhishek Bachchan and Shah Rukh’s daughter Suhana Khan.
