Shahrukh Khan seeks Approval to add two-more floors to his 'Mannat' Bungalow

The wife of Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan, Gauri Shahrukh Khan, submitted an application to the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) to add two stories to the six-story annexe behind their mansion Mannat in the Bandra neighborhood of Mumbai, according to MCZMA officials.

Gauri Khan, Shahrukh Khan's wife, submitted an application to the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) on November 9 in order to construct two more stories to the annexe, increasing the total built-up area by an additional 616.02 square meters.

Senior MCZMA official says, "The proposal is a routine process of adding extra area in the bungalow. We have discussed and given our feedback. Now the proposal will be discussed again in the next meeting, subject to getting the required information from Khan's consultant”.

The Mannat annexe now has six stories, a ground floor, and two-level basements; according to her application, the Khans would like to build a seventh and eighth floor. The project is expected to cost Rs. 25 crore, based on the documents the applicant presented to the coastal zone administration.

According to the Hindustan Times, the sea-facing home, a 1914 Grade 3 heritage structure in the colonial style, is situated on a 2091.38 square meter parcel of land that also has a contemporary six-story addition that houses the family's living space.

The use of the Transfer of Development Rights was made possible by an amendment to the CRZ regulations in 2019. Additionally, the DCPR's improved Floor Space Index was approved, enabling more construction for those whose buildings were located within the CRZ. Many cricket players, businesspeople, and relatives who own properties in the CRZ area have expanded their existing structures during the past two years using the enlarged FSI's provisions.

Last year, Shahrukh Khan had said, “It was way beyond (our budget). But we managed to buy (Mannat) which was worthy. It was quite debilitated, kind of broken, and we didn't have money to furnish it. Of course, we called one designer. The lunch he served us, telling us how he designed the house was way more than the salary I earned in a month. We were like - this guy is going to charge a lot. So how do we do this house now? We bought it, but what do we do with it.”
