Gauri Khan newly launched new coffee table book “My Life in Design.” The Pathaan actor Shah Rukh Khan shared about his experience in going through the process of buying Mannat.
SRK said, “Being from Delhi, one was used to living in bungalows. One did not realize that Mumbai has its own system, where apartments are even more expensive… We are not used to it, not because I was very well off, but because in Delhi, everybody seemed to have a bungalow.”
He added, “We didn’t have too much money, and as soon as we mustered up some money, we said we want to buy this bungalow. And it was way beyond our means. We managed to buy it, which was one thing, and then we had to rebuild it, because it was quite dilapidated. And then we didn’t have money to furnish it. Of course, we called a designer. The lunch that he served us telling us how he’ll design the house was way more than the salary I used to earn in a month.”
The star later added, “We have dinners at home, we don’t have a choice in that. We have to have dinner together. And on those dinners, we discuss how everybody’s day at work was. At the end of the dinner, the discussion is, ‘It was a satisfying day’. Because she believes a satisfying day is a happy day.”
