Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, known for her charm, honesty, and playful humour, recently gave fans something to smile about with a cheeky remark involving superstar Shah Rukh Khan. While speaking in a candid and light-hearted manner, the actress joked that if she ever got the opportunity to sneak something away from Shah Rukh, it would undoubtedly be his iconic house, Mannat.
For millions of cinema lovers across the globe, Mannat is far more than just a luxurious residence. Situated by the sea in Mumbai’s Bandra, the sprawling bungalow has become a symbol of Shah Rukh Khan’s hard-earned success, his journey from a young Delhi boy with big dreams to the reigning “King of Bollywood.” Fans from all corners of the world visit Mumbai only to stand outside its gates, hoping for a quick glimpse of the superstar waving from his balcony. So, when Anushka Sharma said she would love to “steal” this dreamlike mansion, her words instantly resonated with both SRK admirers and her own fans, sparking a wave of amusement online.
But Anushka didn’t stop with just Mannat. With her trademark wit, she went on to add that Shah Rukh’s collection of luxury watches could be her second pick. She laughed while pointing out that the superstar owns such a massive range of high-end timepieces that even if someone decided to sell just a few, the money earned would be staggering — and still, his collection would remain enviably vast.
Shah Rukh Khan has always been admired for his love of stylish, sophisticated accessories. Over the years, he has often been spotted wearing rare and limited-edition watches, many of which cost as much as luxury cars. His impeccable taste in fashion, coupled with his effortless charm, has made him one of the most admired personalities in the world, both on and off screen. It was this very side of SRK that Anushka chose to tease, in a way only someone who shares a genuine bond with him could.
Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan share a special professional relationship that goes back to her very first film. Anushka made her Bollywood debut in 2008 with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, opposite Shah Rukh, under the direction of the legendary Aditya Chopra. The film turned out to be a massive success and marked the beginning of a warm camaraderie between the two stars. Over the years, they went on to collaborate again in Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) and Zero (2018), creating on-screen magic that fans still fondly remember.
Their bond off-screen has always been equally affectionate. Both have often spoken about respecting and learning from each other, and Anushka’s light-hearted confession about wanting to “steal” SRK’s possessions is a reflection of the easygoing comfort they share. It is rare in an industry often filled with formality and guarded statements to see such genuine, playful interactions.
Fans, naturally, couldn’t get enough of Anushka’s remark. Social media quickly buzzed with reactions, with many jokingly asking Anushka to “stand in line” because thousands would also want to own Mannat. Others agreed with her choice of SRK’s luxurious watches, pointing out how the actor’s refined taste is admired worldwide.
While Anushka Sharma’s playful statement was clearly made in jest, it does underline the larger-than-life aura that surrounds Shah Rukh Khan. Whether it is his palatial residence, his impeccable collection of luxury accessories, or simply his aura as one of the greatest superstars of Indian cinema, Shah Rukh continues to remain a symbol of both aspiration and admiration. And in this case, even a fellow A-list star like Anushka couldn’t resist acknowledging it with a dash of humour.
