Getting Inside SRK’s Famous Home
Raghav Juyal just recounted the time he found himself at Shah Rukh Khan’s house, and made a hilarious faux pas that left him a little embarrassed. The actor had gone to Mannat for a meeting while filming The Ba***ds of Bollywood with Aryan Khan, and what followed was just about the most regular person’s expectation of going into a celebrity’s home and seeing how the other half lives.
So, Raghav appears at the famous seaside white mansion and has to go through security checks that you would normally see at the airport.
The dancer turned actor mentioned that at that time, nobody had any clue who he was, so the security staff was probably looking at him like some random kid who was trying to get into the house for a job. Just clarifying how tight the security really is at one of Mumbai’s most famous homes.
Raghav Juyal Question That Made Things Weird
Once Raghav Juyal got past all the security checks, he walked inside and did what any normal person might do – he asked Aryan where his room was. That’s when it hit him that he wasn’t in a normal house anymore. This is Shah Rukh Khan’s place we’re talking about.
Turns out people don’t have rooms at Mannat. Here’s what Raghav Juyal learned that day:
- Aryan doesn’t just have a room, he has an entire floor all to himself
- The mansion is so big that each family member basically lives on their own level
- Regular houses have rooms, but places like Mannat work totally different
- What most people call a house is just one tiny part of what the Khan family calls home
Aryan just laughed when Raghav asked about his room and told him to come upstairs. The young director wasn’t bothered by the question at all. They headed up to Aryan’s floor where they hung out, talked music, and later went out to grab dinner with some friends.
Calling Mom Right After
The experience was so surreal that Raghav Juyal quickly phoned his mother after leaving Mannat. She was so keen to hear what he thought about everything that she fired a million questions at him once he explained where he’d just been, such as “How are the bathrooms!? What about the library!?” and kept asking for every little detail of the house.
He joked that he wasn’t going there to work as a property broker and had to calm her down to explain that his mother was just as blown away by what Mannat was like inside as anyone would be, simply by hearing about it. Most people only ever experience the outside of the bungalow when they stand with crowds of fans trying to catch a glimpse of SRK.
Working With Aryan On The Show
Raghav’s role in The Ba***ds of Bollywood has audiences talking. He plays Parvez, the best friend of the main character Aasman. The show launched in September on Netflix and began gaining plenty of discussion after release. The series takes a more realistic look at what the entertainment industry is like behind the glamour of the industry.
The show was produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and has other actors such as Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Aanya Singh, and Bobby Deol. People particularly liked Raghav’s scenes, especially the one he has with Emraan Hashmi. Raghav Juyal has been getting praise for the way that he looks natural in his role.
What Made This Visit Special
For Raghav Juyal, who grew up watching movies starring Shah Rukh Khan, walking through the doors of Mannat felt like he was in a dream. He openly referred to himself as a massive fan of SRK. To have the opportunity to collaborate with Aryan and see the place where they live made the project that much more special.
What was amusing was how Raghav’s inquiry about “where’s the room'” illustrated how different life is for the biggest stars in Bollywood. Most of us think about how big their bedrooms are, but (stars at that level) think about which floor is whose.
We think that interaction likely showed him more about how the other half lives than any magazine article. What was also nice, is that Aryan didn’t make Raghav Juyal feel bad about the inquiry, he just laughed it off and reassured his guest. That relaxed atmosphere made the interaction more valuable, within the awkward question.
