Shah Rukh Khan unveils first global property named after him at Mumbai event
Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan attended a grand event in Mumbai on Friday to launch Shahrukhz Danube, a 56-storey Dubai-based property that has been named after him, the first such project to carry his name. The tower will offer around 450 sq ft of premium office spaces and is being developed by Danube Properties.
Speaking at the event, also attended by Danube founder and chairman Rizwan Sajan, the actor said the honour would have made his mother proud. “My mother would have been very happy. It is a very big honour. When my kids come, I will tell them, ‘Papa ka naam likha hai, Papa ki building hai’,” he told the audience.
When asked about having a property named after him, he said he had never imagined putting his name on anything other than his films. Filmmaker Farah Khan, who was also in attendance, responded by saying he had already given his name to “Gauri, Aryan, Suhana and AbRam.”
The actor’s trademark wit continued through the evening as he joked about being “Eid ka chand… kam dikhta hoon, but jab dikhta hoon, kamaal hota hai.” He also helped Sajan attempt the iconic open-arm pose, the ‘Don’ walk, and one of his most remembered dialogues from Om Shanti Om.
Shah Rukh said he was moved by Sajan’s personal story about his wife’s health and the idea of helping people who arrive in big cities to build homes and businesses. “If I could be a part of it and an inspiration, it would be the greatest gift for me,” he said.
The tower will feature a statue of the actor at the entrance apart from all amenities. The project is expected to be completed within the next three to four years, with plans to take the concept to other cities.
