Two Snakes Spotted at Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat; One Rescued, Other Escapes
On August 17, two snakes were spotted at Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's Mumbai residence, Mannat. Snake rescuer Vicky Dubey safely captured an approximately eight-foot-long non-venomous Indian rat snake (Dhaman) and released it into its natural habitat following Forest Department guidelines. The second snake escaped during the rescue operation and remained untraced despite a thorough search. The incident caused brief concern among staff but ended without harm. Shah Rukh Khan's home is currently undergoing renovation, and he is preparing for his upcoming film King.
