Khan's journey to owning 'Amrit'
Actor-producer Viveck Vaswani revealed how Khan got the property.
He told ToI that after marrying Gauri Khan, the Khans moved into an empty flat of Aziz Mirza in Devdutt, next to The Taj Lands End. But when Mirza's wife quit her TIFR job, they had to move back to Devdutt.
During this tough time, filmmaker Prem Lalwani offered Khan a role in the film Guddu and gave him ₹40L advance to buy a flat which turned out to be Amrit.
