Shah Rukh Khan's new home was once Vashu Bhagnani's promise to wife Puja Bhagnani: 'She asked for a…'
Shah Rukh Khan's new home was once Vashu Bhagnani's promise to wife Puja Bhagnani: 'She asked for a…'
While Mannat gets a facelift, Shah Rukh Khan shifts to a luxe home built on a promise—and a producer's undying love for his wife.
As renovations begin at Shah Rukh Khan's iconic sea-facing bungalow Mannat, the superstar and his family have moved into Puja Casa—a 10,500 sq. ft. four-storey apartment in Mumbai's plush Bandra. But while the rent of Rs 25.15 lakh/month has made headlines, what's more intriguing is the legacy of the home itself.
A home built on a promise
The apartment, now officially owned by Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh, was originally developed by their father, producer Vashu Bhagnani. In a recent interview, Vashu shared that the building wasn't just real estate—it was a fulfilment of a heartfelt promise to his wife, Puja.
'She had asked for a 1BHK in Bandra. I gave her a whole building,' Vashu recalled.
The couple had once lived rent-free in a small flat on Linking Road thanks to a friend. Years later, in 2009, Vashu gifted Puja an entire building in Pali Hill—aptly naming it Puja Casa.
Why was it never for sale?
'I had promised myself I would never sell it—only rent it out. It would be my backup in tough times. In film production, you never know when you hit a slump.'
Despite partial sales over the years, the unit now housing Shah Rukh remains part of Vashu's legacy. SRK's stay reportedly includes arrangements for staff and security personnel, making the transition from Mannat as seamless as possible.
From films to foundations
The producer's emotional tribute to his wife didn't end with bricks and mortar. Most of his ventures bear her name, including their production house.
Jackky Bhagnani explained why they eventually reverted from Pooja Entertainment to the original Puja Films, 'She told me she never liked when people called her 'Pooja'… If we're building a legacy in her name, we should do it authentically.'

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, in a recent interview, Venkat's family clarified that the call was a hoax. 'Nothing like that happened,' says family member Speaking to Suman TV, a family member said, 'Actually, nothing like that happened. We have been answering every call we get to see if anyone can help us. Some unknown person called us pretending to be Prabhas Anna's assistant. We found out after that it was a fake call. He doesn't even know something like this is happening. We have not received any financial help yet.' This revelation comes just days after Venkat's daughter Sravanthi told One India that someone claiming to be from Prabhas' team had called with an offer of support. 'Daddy isn't well at all. He is very serious and in the ICU. He needs a kidney transplant. It will cost us at least Rs 50 lakh. Prabhas' assistant called us and offered financial assistance. They asked us to inform them when his transplant happens to cover the cost,' she had said. Fake alert! Prabhas' picture with bald head goes viral Vishwak Sen donates Rs 2 lakh for medical expenses While the call from Prabhas' supposed team turned out to be fake, actor Vishwak Sen has stepped forward to help. In a video shared by Sasi TV, the family confirmed receiving Rs 2 lakh from the Gangs of Godavari actor. 'Vishwak Sen is the first hero from the film industry to know about Fish Venkat's health and donate Rs 2 lakh. This is going to help us a lot, so thank you.
