The first house Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan bought was beyond their means. So was Mannat, their beach-facing house at the Bandra Bandstand in Mumbai’s upscale locality of Bandra.
Khan pinned it to a long-lasting desire to own a house.
“For me, a home is where your story begins. I am a big believer in where the home is where you start from,” he said onstage at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on Wednesday in front of hordes of his fans.
“This isn’t a sob story, my biggest yearning in life was to have a house,” the actor said, reflecting on his humble beginnings. “My children make fun of me. They say, har jagah pe ghar thodi na le sakte hai (we can’t buy a house everywhere)’.”
Moments earlier, as Khan strode on stage wearing a black jacket and trousers, the crowds went delirious. He was in town for the launch of Shahrukhz Residences, Danube’s new waterfront tower named after Shah Rukh Khan.
