Anasuya Sengupta, who recently won the Un Certain Regard Award for Best Actress at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for her role in The Shameless, shared a memorable experience from her first visit to Mannat where Shah Rukh Khan lives. To make the moment even more special, she was accompanied by Hollywood actor Joel Edgerton.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter India, Anasuya recalled the surreal moment. “It was a surreal experience, walking into Mannat with Joel Edgerton,” she said. She described the atmosphere as magical, and Shah Rukh Khan’s warm welcome immediately made her and Joel feel at ease.

Anasuya explained how the visit came about. She wasn’t aware of the plan at first and ended up tagging along with Joel. “When the car stopped, I saw a board that read ‘Mannat.’ I panicked and got right back into the car. I was in a very unimpressive dress and told Joel I couldn’t go,” she revealed.
Despite her hesitation, she finally decided to go in, only to be warmly greeted by Shah Rukh Khan himself. “He was just magical,” she said, still in awe of the experience.
The visit left Anasuya completely enchanted, and she spent hours at Mannat. “I was messaging my best friends and brother, and they all insisted I take photos of him and the house,” she shared.
