If you are a Shah Rukh Khan fan residing in Mumbai or you’ve visited the city at some point, it’s likely that you have paid a visit to Bandra Bandstand to catch a glimpse of the actor’s home, Mannat. Standing next to the nameplate and getting a picture clicked has given joy to millions of his fans over the years. So, it’s surprising to spot a group of disappointed fans waiting outside the palatial bungalow. Look closely and we realise that the iconic Mannat nameplate is missing from the wall.

A source tells us that the recently purchased nameplate, which cost the star approximately Rs. 25 lakh, has been off the wall for a couple of days. “One diamond fell from the nameplate, so it was taken down for repair. It is inside the house, in the garden and will be put back once it’s repaired,” we are told by the source at the time of going to press.

Try telling that to Angela, who travelled to Mumbai all the way from the US to get a picture outside Mannat, and the 26-year-old says, “I am a big Shah Rukh fan and I wanted to click a picture with Mannat. Now, how do I prove to my friends back home that I have seen his house?” Her companions echo the same sentiment.

Another fan, Iqbal, who stays in Mumbai and visits Mannat every week, says this is the first time in years that he has seen the nameplate missing. “Main Shah Rukh king ka bahut bada fan hoon. Mannat mere liye bahut khaas hai,” he gushes.
