India, Nov. 1 -- Before it became actor Shah Rukh Khan's iconic Mumbai home, Mannat was afilm-shoot location. On the latest episode of reality show India Ke Top 1%, actor and host Anil Kapoor recalled shooting his 1988 film Tezaab at the property, years before SRK bought it. Anil also recalled his friendship with Shah Rukh and the superstar's early days in Mumbai. The conversation began when Anil asked contestants what they would do if they won Rs.1 crore. One contestant said she would like to buy a house like Mannat, prompting him to recall his first meeting with SRK, before the latter's Hindi film debut. "Shah Rukh sahab and I have been very close friends for many years. He had come to meet me while I was shooting for Benaam Badshah. When I saw him and looked into his eyes, I felt that he would become a very big star. That is where our relationship began, and over time, our friendship grew," Anil said. Benaam Badshah was released in 1991, a year before Shah Rukh made his Hindi film debut with Deewana in 1992. The 69-year-old further shared, "I remember him buying Mannat right before my eyes. I had also shot for Tezaab at that property, before it became his home." Located at Bandra's Bandstand, Mannat is a heritage property that Shah Rukh acquired in the early 2000s. Before owning Mannat, SRK lived in a flat on Carter Road, where he would often meet Anil. "We used to meet... where he had a flat. He, too, dreamt of owning a grand, sea-facing bungalow, and he fulfilled that dream," Anil recalled. The two actors later shared screen space in Trimurti (1995), which also featured Jackie Shroff.HTC...
