New Delhi: Shah Rukh spoke about the financial challenges he and Gauri faced while buying their first house at an event in Dubai. He revealed that their first home
together was beyond their budget. Even when they decided to buy Mannat, the property was more expensive than what they could comfortably afford at that time. However, they still took the step and made their dream come true.
The actor shared that both houses were important milestones in their lives. He also encouraged people who dream of owning a home to believe in themselves and keep working towards it. According to SRK, faith and determination can help people achieve things that may seem difficult at first.
Shah Rukh Khan credits Gauri Khan for their journey
Gauri Khan was also present at the Dubai event. Shah Rukh spoke about her contribution to their life and the journey they have built together. Filmmaker Karan Johar, who hosted the event, also praised Gauri and described her as an important part of Shah Rukh’s success.
Gauri, who is an interior designer, has played a major role in designing their family home, Mannat. Over the years, the house has become one of Mumbai’s most recognised celebrity residences. It is not just a home for the Khan family but also a special place for millions of Shah Rukh’s fans.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat: A dream that came true
Shah Rukh Khan bought Mannat, the famous sea-facing property in Bandra, Mumbai, in 2001. The house has since become a popular landmark, with fans often gathering outside to catch a glimpse of the actor. What makes the story interesting is that the property, which is now one of Bollywood’s most recognised homes, was once a dream that seemed financially difficult for the actor.
Mannat is currently undergoing renovation, with reports suggesting that the work is expected to be completed by December 2026. The family is expected to return once the renovation is finished.

Apart from sharing memories about his personal life, Shah Rukh also entertained guests at the Dubai event. He recreated some of his popular film dialogues, including lines from Raees and Om Shanti Om. He also danced to Tu Mil Jaaye, a song from his upcoming film King.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, King also stars Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24, 2026.
