Controversies seem to be in no mood to leave Shah Rukh Khan yet.

Controversies seem to be in no mood to leave Shah Rukh Khan yet. Some construction in SRK’s backyard has created some troubles again. It is believed that the building process had hampered with the peace of a co-establishment.

According to reports, the massive ongoing work in the backyard of Khan’s ‘Mannat’ at Bandra Bandstand has become a problem of sorts for his neighbours. ‘Mannat’ shares a common back wall with ‘Retreat House’, a congregation home for senior Jesuit priests to meditate, introspect and hold programmes for clergy and laity alike.

The site for Retreat House was reportedly chosen because it offered peace and tranquility. But with the construction to build an underground car park going on full swing, the unending ceaseless noise has shattered the peace of the neighbourhood.

Inside reports suggest that four senior priests who had come to stay and meditate at the ‘Retreat House’ walked out, unable to bear the distraction.

On realizing the clergy’s trouble, Shah Rukh’s wife Gauri sent an apology note to the priests for the noise, which read- “The excavation is likely to cause some noise during the week when the work goes on. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and we promise to refrain from the excavation work on Sundays and between 1 pm and 3 pm on weekdays when you may be resting.” However, the priests still chose to send a note of protest to the Khans.

The matter further aggravated when the priests got another notice for permission to allow some construction inside their compound and they have now decided to consult lawyers on the same.
