Actor Vineet Kumar Singh, who is currently being praised for his performance in Laxman Utekar’s Chhaava, recently shared his feelings about Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic house, Mannat. In an interview with Just Too Filmy, Vineet called Mannat a symbol of hope and courage for those who come to Mumbai with big dreams.
Sharing his thoughts, Vineet said, “Mannat sirf ek ghar nahi hai. Mannat hum jaison ke liye himmat hai. Mannat ek aisa pata hai jo batata hai ki iss shehar main aapka ek makaan ho sakta hai.” (Mannat is not just a house. It is courage for people like us. It is an address that signifies that you too can have a home in this city.)
He also described Mumbai as a city full of surprises, adding, “Yeh shehar jaadui shehar hai, najane kab kaun kahan mil jaaye aur aapki gaadi chal pade.” (This city is magical—you never know when or how someone might cross your path, and your journey might just take off.)
Vineet revealed that during tough times, he often found comfort by sitting outside Mannat. He said, “Kayi baar aisa hua hai ki when I am feeling low, main Mannat ke bahar jaakar baith jaata hun, chai leta hun aur dekhta rehta hun.” (Many times, when I am feeling low, I sit outside Mannat, get a cup of tea, and just watch.) For him, Mannat is not just a house—it represents courage and the belief that dreams can come true.
Vineet’s words highlight how Mannat has become a source of inspiration for many who come to Mumbai hoping to achieve their dreams.
