Recent property transactions by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan have sparked speculation about his future residence. The actor has leased two luxurious duplex apartments in Mumbai’s Pali Hills, Khar West, leading to questions about whether he is planning to move out of his iconic bungalow, Mannat. While there is no official confirmation, the timing of these rentals has raised curiosity, especially since they come after Gauri Khan received approvals from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) to expand Mannat.
According to property registration documents accessed by SquareFeatIndia, Shah Rukh Khan has signed a three-year lease agreement for these apartments at an annual rent of Rs 2.9 crore, totaling Rs 8.67 crore over the lease term. The combined monthly rent for both duplexes amounts to Rs 24.15 lakh. The lease agreements were officially registered on February 14, with a stamp duty of Rs 2.22 lakh and a registration fee of Rs 2,000.
The apartments, located in the Puja Casa building, span the first, second, seventh, and eighth floors and belong to Bollywood’s Bhagnani family. One unit, owned by actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani and his sister Deepshikha Deshmukh, has been leased by Shah Rukh Khan for Rs 11.54 lakh per month, with a security deposit of Rs 32.97 lakh. The other, owned by veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani, has been rented for Rs 12.61 lakh per month, with a security deposit of Rs 36 lakh. Both leases are set for a duration of 36 months.
Despite these significant rental agreements, it remains unclear whether Shah Rukh Khan is planning to move out of Mannat. The recent approvals for expanding the bungalow suggest continued investment in the property, yet the new rentals indicate a possible shift. Whether these apartments are meant for personal use, professional purposes, or a transitional phase remains uncertain, leaving room for speculation about the superstar’s next move.
