Shah Rukh Khan was his ‘magical’ self, recalls Anasuya Sengupta as she talks about randomly landing in Mannat with Hollywood star Joel Edgerton

As a dedicated follower of Indian cinema, I have been fortunate enough to witness the magic of Shah Rukh Khan up close, and his latest encounter with Anasuya Sengupta is just another testament to his extraordinary charisma. Anasuya’s story of her random meeting with SRK at Mannat is a tale that resonates deeply with me, as it highlights the power of chance encounters and the impact they can have on our lives.


As a devoted fan, I can’t help but acknowledge that there’s no one quite like Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood. It’s not just his captivating charisma, but also his humble and approachable demeanor that makes him truly special to his fans. Not long ago, Anasuya Sengupta shared a memorable encounter she had with SRK at his residence, Mannat, with Joel Edgerton. She fondly recollected King Khan’s enchanting presence and the gracious way he welcomed us.

During a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Anasuya Sengupta shared an exciting story from her past. In 2012, she unexpectedly found herself at Shah Rukh Khan’s home, Mannat. She fondly recalled her initial visit to the superstar’s residence, where she was accompanied by Hollywood actor Joel Edgerton.

After spending time with Joel and other friends, she found herself on her way home, not entirely clear about their itinerary. To her astonishment, the vehicle halted outside Shah Rukh Khan’s residence, Mannat, causing her to “freak out.” She recalled getting back into the car and expressing her initial reluctance to visit the superstar’s abode, as she was wearing a “ridiculous and underwhelming” dress.

Anasuya made it clear that she wasn’t a production designer at the time, and explained to Edgerton that she wished to return home. However, she ultimately decided to go, and later recollected that Shah Rukh Khan (King Khan) was there to welcome them.

She mentioned, “He warmly welcomed us, radiating his extraordinary charm and mystique, leaving me utterly thrilled. For hours that night, I found myself exclaiming, ‘Oh my goodness,’ as photos and selfies didn’t quite capture the essence of it all. Later on, I texted my brothers and friends urging them to take pictures with him and of the house.

Stepping into the discussion, actor Raghav Juyal, who happened to be there as well, recounted his personal experience of going to Mannat for the first time. He reminisced about his mother’s astonishment, who questioned him no less than three times if he had truly been there.

At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Anasuya Sengupta was awarded the Un Certain Regard Prize for Best Actress for her performance in The Shameless. In contrast, Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) is set to appear in Sujoy Ghosh’s upcoming film titled King, alongside Suhana Khan, Abhay Verma, and Abhishek Bachchan. The production team plans to begin shooting in Mumbai next year, January, followed by an extensive schedule in Europe.
