Shah Rukh’s London dreams

Looks like Shah Rukh Khan’s long standing dream of owning a building in London has finally come true; buzz is that he has brought an entire six-storey building in the city’s hip area Park Street, reports Shubha Shetty-Saha

Shah Rukh Khan loves going where no one else has managed to. After having bought a palatial home Mannat in Bandra for himself (it is so huge that by his own admission, he hasn’t seen the entire house as yet, even after years of moving in), now the buzz is that King Khan has bought himself an entire six-storey building in London. According to sources, SRK”s building is in the hip Park Street area of the city.

Khan had earlier expressed a desire to own a house in London as he simply loves the British capital. He had said, “I don’t like America. I love London as I feel at home there. People say the English are very cold and unfriendly, but I find them amazingly warm. I love walking in London. To me London is the hub of the world and anyone doing well there is a top notch achiever.” SRK had also earlier expressed a desire to open an office in London to start making films with English technicians. So, it is not certain whether SRK will use the building as a branch of his production company, Red Chillies Pvt Ltd, or use it to stay, whenever he visits his beloved city.

According to sources, a six-storey structure in the much coveted Park Street would set one back by at least 8 million to 10 million pounds (Rs 72 cr-90 cr).
