Gauri Khan shared the details of her favourite things in the house, which mostly includes the over-scaled silhouettes - a jade Ganpati, a pair of four-foot tall black vases from Paris and a life-sized marble Radha-Krishna sculpture to name a few. To cater to Shah Rukh's interests, the entrance to the theatre of Mannat (yes, there's a 42-seater private theatre in the home) is decked with vintage posters of Bollywood films like Sholay, Mughal-e-Azam and Ram Aur Shyam.
The six-storey bungalow has multiple bedrooms, a terrace, a garden, personal quarters and expansive entertainment spaces with influences from around the world including Italian architecture and neo-classical elements.
Gauri Khan is a celebrated interior decorator and she has designed several posh restaurants in Mumbai along with celebrities' homes. Gauri is the force behind some exquisite corners in the homes of Karan Johar, Jacqueline Fernandez and Varun Dhawan while she's decorated the entire place for Ranbir Kapoor.
Speaking to Casa Vogue, Gauri Khan said that Mannat served as her family home while it doubled as a 'blank canvas' to let her 'grow and develop as an interior designer.'
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri are parents to Aryan, 21, Suhana, 19, and six-year-old AbRam.
