Mika Singh Recalls Shah Rukh Khan’s Hilarious Warning Before Gauri Khan Designed His ₹50 Crore Home: ‘Bahut Lootegi’

Popular Bollywood singer Mika Singh has been making headlines recently after offering fans an exclusive glimpse into his luxurious Mumbai residence. Known for his massive real estate portfolio, the singer revealed that his primary home—a stunning ₹50 crore apartment—was curated by none other than celebrity interior designer Gauri Khan. While the end result is a masterpiece of modern design, Mika shared an amusing anecdote about how the collaboration began, involving a playful yet cautionary warning from his close friend and superstar, Shah Rukh Khan.

In a recent interaction, Mika Singh recounted that when he first decided to renovate his expansive property, he approached Shah Rukh Khan to help connect him with Gauri. Known for his sharp wit, SRK did not hold back in his response, jokingly trying to dissuade the singer from hiring his wife for the project. Mika recalled the superstar telling him, “Nahi yaar, bohot lootegi tumhe, bohot mehenga karegi,” which translates to “No man, she will rob you; she will make it very expensive.” Despite the hilarious “warning” about the potential costs, Mika remained adamant, trusting Gauri Khan’s aesthetic vision implicitly. He viewed the comment as a lighthearted gesture rather than a genuine deterrent, knowing well that SRK was simply having some fun at his expense.

Once Gauri Khan came on board, she set a single, non-negotiable condition for the project: Mika was not to interfere or question any of her creative decisions. The singer admitted that he respected this rule completely, going as far as to stay away from the property for the entire two-year duration of the renovation. He noted that he didn’t even visit the site while the work was in progress, placing his full faith in her expertise. This professional boundary led to some surprising changes, as Gauri introduced elements that deviated from Mika’s personal style. While the singer typically prefers neutral tones like beige and brown for his homes, Gauri boldly added a green couch to the living area—a choice that Mika now proudly showcases as a highlight of the space.

The transformed residence, which occupies an entire floor of a high-rise building, has been converted from an initial eight-bedroom layout into a more spacious five-bedroom luxury home. It now features dedicated guest suites, family areas, and a private sanctuary for the singer, all designed with a unified, calm aesthetic. Looking back at his journey from earning a first paycheck of just ₹75 as a 13-year-old performing at religious gatherings to owning 99 properties across India, Mika expressed deep gratitude for his success. He remains incredibly pleased with the final outcome of his Mumbai home, proving that Gauri Khan’s “expensive” touch was well worth the wait.
