Mannat Wins in Court: The Supreme Court Clears the Renovation

The Supreme Court has dismissed the petition challenging the coastal regulation clearance for the renovation and expansion of Mannat, Shah Rukh Khan's sea-facing Mumbai residence and the most photographed private address in the country.

Mannat is not just a house; it is a pilgrimage site with a daily crowd, a backdrop for a thousand reels a day, and as much a part of the star's brand as any film. The expansion has been in the works alongside the family's temporary move during construction.

The verdict closes a legal question that had hovered over the project, and it lands in the same month the actor locked King for Christmas. By any measure, a good fortnight at Mannat.
