Illegal construction work at Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat? Manager Pooja Dadlani responds to reports
After an activist complained about illegal construction work at Shah Rukh Khan's palatial Mumbai home Mannat, a team of BMC and forest department officials was spotted there. As per a Times of India report, they were checking for any violations following a complaint by an activist. Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan is not living in Mannat anymore, which is undergoing renovation work.
Mannat, which includes a heritage bungalow and a multi-storey annex, is currently undergoing renovation. With the actor and his family temporarily relocating to a nearby residence in Pali Hill, officials who arrived for inspection were met by his staff. They assured authorities that all required renovation permits and related documents would be duly submitted.
Even Shah Rukh's manager Pooja Dadlani denied any illegal activities. She told TOI, "There are no complaints. All work is going on as per guidelines."
A forest department official told the publisher, "A team did carry out a site inspection as we received a complaint about renovation permissions. A report will be prepared based on the findings and submitted soon." It was also mentioned that the BMC members was part of the investigating team just to support the forest officials.
Activist Santosh Daundkar filed a complaint over construction at Mannat. Former IPS officer Y P Singh claimed Mannat originally comprised a heritage building, Villa Vienna, and in 2005, a seven-storey annex was built. To bypass the Urban Land Ceiling Act, 12 small flats were approved but later merged into one luxury residence for Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan. Singh alleged municipal collusion and said the owners must now restore the flats to uphold the law and ensure housing objectives are met. Where are Shah Rukh and family living these days?
Shah Rukh Khan has lived at Mannat for decades now. It is a multi-million dollar property designed by his wife, interior designer Gauri Khan. They lived there with their three kids, Aryan, Suhana and AbRam.
They are now temporarily living at four floors of the luxe Puja Casa building in Pali Hill area of Bandra. It is owned by film producer Vashu Bhagnani.

Shah Rukh Khan's manager breaks silence on renovation at Mannat after BMC visit, says 'there are....'
Currently, SRK and his family are residing at their Pali Hill apartment while Mannat undergoes renovations. However, a recent complaint by social activist Santosh Daundkar has stirred controversy, accusing the actor and Maharashtra authorities of bypassing regulations related to the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ). The complaint, filed with the National Green Tribunal (NGT), alleges that renovation permissions may have been granted in violation of CRZ norms. Mannat is a Grade III heritage structure, comprising the original bungalow and a multi-storey annexe. This classification makes it subject to several heritage and environmental safeguards. Following the complaint, a joint team from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the forest department visited the property to inspect ongoing work. A forest official told the Times of India that a site inspection was indeed carried out, and a report would be submitted based on findings. Shah Rukh's manager, Pooja Dadlani, responded to the allegations, denying any wrongdoing. 'There are no complaints. All work is going on as per guidelines,' she told TOI. Meanwhile, sources say that SRK's staff assured authorities that all necessary permits and documents are in order and will be submitted shortly. Interestingly, reports also suggest that the BMC's presence was merely to assist the forest department, and not for an independent investigation. The iconic Mannat, formerly known as Villa Vienna, was acquired by Shah Rukh Khan in 2001. Since then, it has not only become a prime Mumbai landmark but also a symbol of SRK's journey from outsider to Bollywood royalty. Now, as the renovation continues amid rising scrutiny, all eyes are on what the inspection report will reveal. whether it's a procedural misunderstanding or a genuine lapse.

Jaideep Ahlawat confirms role in 'King', credits SRK's intervention, says ‘who could say no to him?'
Actor Jaideep Ahlawat has officially joined the cast of the much-awaited film 'King', starring Shah Rukh Khan and marking the on-screen debut of his daughter Suhana Khan. Speaking about the development, Ahlawat revealed that it was Shah Rukh Khan himself who played a pivotal role in securing his presence in the project, overcoming the initial hesitation of director Siddharth Anand. In a recent interview with Lallantop, Ahlawat confirmed that Anand was initially reluctant to cast him due to the limited scope of the role. However, Shah Rukh Khan's conviction proved decisive. 'SRK sir had been thinking about this for quite some time, as far as I know. But Siddharth (Anand) bhai was a bit hesitant to offer it since it was a small role after 'Jewel Thief'. But Khan saab being Khan saab, he said, 'I'll talk to him.' Now, who could say no to him?' Ahlawat shared. Reflecting on his rapport with Shah Rukh Khan, Ahlawat spoke fondly of their first meeting on the sets of 'Raees', where they worked together for several days. Despite their brief interactions — estimated between five to seven occasions — the actor recalled always being made to feel special. 'I really like him. In all my interactions with him — in the five to seven times we've met — starting from Raees, where I shot with him for four to five days, and even after that, whenever we met, he always made me feel like I was the closest person to him,' he said. 'He's a wonderful human being. He has some amazing qualities. Every time I've met him, he's made me feel important,' Ahlawat added. King is one of the most hotly anticipated Bollywood films slated for release next year. Not only does it feature the return of Shah Rukh Khan after a successful run with Pathaan and Jawan, but it also marks a significant moment in his personal and professional life — sharing the screen for the first time with his daughter Suhana Khan.
