For years, Shah Rukh Khan’s grand Diwali party at his iconic Mumbai residence Mannat has been one of Bollywood’s most anticipated festive gatherings. But this year, the superstar has decided to skip the annual bash. Reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan, who usually hosts a star-studded evening attended by friends, family, and film industry colleagues, will not be opening the doors of Mannat for celebrations in 2025.
According to updates confirmed by his manager, Pooja Dadlani, and earlier reports from Hindustan Times, the actor has chosen to keep this Diwali low-key.
The tradition of Mannat’s lavish parties dates back years, making it a highlight on the Bollywood social calendar. However, the celebrations have been paused several times in recent years first due to the pandemic and later because of ongoing renovations at the mansion. The latest decision continues that quiet streak.
Historically, Shah Rukh’s Diwali gatherings have drawn nearly every major Bollywood name, from Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh to Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, and Salman Khan. The parties often featured elaborate decor, live music, and vibrant festive ensembles that dominated social media the following day. Fans would gather outside Mannat hoping to catch a glimpse of the superstar’s Diwali greeting from his balcony, a moment that had become symbolic of his festive connection with the public.

Meanwhile, another popular actor has chosen a similar path this year. Ayushmann Khurrana and his wife, filmmaker Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, have also opted to skip their usual Diwali celebrations. While the couple is known for their intimate festive get-togethers with close friends from the industry, they have reportedly decided to keep things private this season.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan has been on a phenomenal run with consecutive blockbusters — Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki — all dominating the box office. He is now gearing up for his next film, an action entertainer titled King, which will see him sharing the screen with his daughter, Suhana Khan, for the first time. Though fans may miss the glitz of Mannat this Diwali, SRK’s upcoming project ensures the excitement around Bollywood’s “King” remains undimmed.
