's journey from struggling to own a home to becoming the owner of Mannat, one of Mumbai's most recognisable celebrity residences.

They also spoke about Gauri's contribution to his journey and the role she has played in building their life together.During the event, Karan offered a glimpse into the luxurious amenities at Mannat, revealing some of the features that make the superstar's residence special. “Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat has a cinema hall, cryotherapy, and sea view,” he said. He also suggested that several elements of the Dubai development had been inspired by features of Shah Rukh's own home.Karan went on to acknowledge Gauri's contribution to everything Shah Rukh has achieved, describing her as the pillar behind the actor and his family. He said, “I want everyone to know that there would be no Mannat, there would be no Khan family if it wasn’t for this pillar standing right next to me.” He further compared her to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, saying, “Whosoever’s life she has touched, that life turns into gold.

”Shah Rukh, too, spoke about Gauri being his constant source of encouragement and motivation. Recalling their early years together and the milestones they achieved as a couple, he said, “Our first home, our first car, our first journey together, but Gauri always said, ‘These are just a beginning.’ The first of many. And what we do next will be King style.”Speaking about what having a home means to him, Shah Rukh described it as much more than a physical space.

He said that a home gives people a sense of belonging and becomes an important part of their identity.“I have always been a big believer of home. A place to live in. Home is where you start from. And home is the nicest word in the universe. The word home turns into an emotion. It becomes your identity, your pride and sometimes even becomes your life,” he said.The actor also expressed gratitude to the developers for naming their latest luxury project after him, explaining why the gesture was particularly meaningful given his own journey.

Recalling his childhood and the loss of his parents at an early age, Shah Rukh spoke about his longstanding desire to have a home of his own.“I am somebody who came from a background, my parents died early,” he said, before adding, “It is not a sob story. This is how it was. I never had a house. My biggest yearning in life — of course, I love my films, family, work — but the only thing I love more than anything else is to have a house.”Shah Rukh also shared a light-hearted anecdote about his children, who often tease him about his enthusiasm for buying homes in different cities. Recalling their response whenever he talks about owning another property, he said, “They say, ‘Papa, hum har jagah pe ghar thodi le sakte hai (We can’t buy a house everywhere).’ But I have been fortunate, God has been kind.”The superstar revealed that he did not have a home of his own until he married Gauri, with the two purchasing their first house together.

He also recalled that both their first home and Mannat were beyond what they could comfortably afford at the time of purchase. However, he believes that having faith in one's dreams can make even seemingly impossible aspirations come true.Explaining why owning a home holds such emotional significance for him, Shah Rukh said that it is the one place where people can return, reflect and find the strength to face life's challenges again.“For me, it is very important, which I often tell people, that in life there are good days, bad days, sad days and sometimes even depressing days. But when you finally come knocking, you have to come back to your own home because you regenerate there, you refigure things out and go back to face the harsh world again. So I am a big believer of house,” he said.He also had an encouraging message for people who dream of owning a home someday, urging them to believe in their aspirations.

“Agar aap ghar ke liye mannat karenge, toh zindagi mein sabse khoobsurat ghar milega. Think big and believe big,” he said.Gauri, who was also present at the launch, spoke about her experience of designing their iconic Mumbai residence. Suggesting that the process was relatively smooth because she had complete creative freedom at home, she joked, “They have no option but to agree to all my designs,” drawing laughter from the audience.Shah Rukh also reflected on the appreciation he has received from audiences across generations and the values he hopes to instil in his children. He said that the love and recognition he has received throughout his career have taught him the importance of humility, dignity and hard work. He wants his children to understand that success comes from giving their best, regardless of the field they choose.“Jokes apart, people have known me for years. There are different generations of people here who have appreciated my work and I am extremely grateful and thankful to all of them all my life.

And the one thing I have learnt from this kind of appreciation over the years is to teach my children good manners, dignity, and above all humility and the passion that they should give their best to whatever they do. Because if you give your best to whatever you do, there is no limit to what you can achieve, because the love of the people is always there if you work hard.

So I just want them to be dignified, humble and hardworking,” he shared.Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan purchased their first home together in 1991 in Panchsheel Park, South Delhi. The actor initially owned the basement and the first floor of the property before eventually acquiring the remaining floors. The couple later bought a sea-facing apartment in Mumbai before moving into Mannat in 2001.Located in Bandra's Bandstand area, Mannat has since become one of Mumbai's most iconic celebrity addresses. The heritage property, which has been a landmark for fans visiting the city, is currently undergoing renovation, with Gauri reportedly overseeing plans to add extra floors to the residence. From their first home together to the sprawling sea-facing bungalow they now call their own, the couple's journey reflects the dreams and milestones Shah Rukh spoke about at the Dubai launch.
