Vineet says Mannat is a symbol of hope
Vineet called Mannat a symbol of hope for people who dream of making it big in Mumbai and said, "Mannat sirf ek ghar nahi hai. Mannat hum jaison ke liye himmat hai. Mannat ek aisa pata hai jo batata hai ki iss shehar main aapka ek makaan ho sakta hai. Mannat is baat ka praman hai jo un sapne dekhne vaali aankhon ko ek hosla deta hai ki sapne haath pakadke rakhna. Yeh shehar jaadui shehar hai, najane kab kaun kahan mil jaaye aur aapki gaadi chal pade." (Mannat is not just a house. Mannat is courage for people like us. Mannat is an address that signifies that you too can have a home in this city. Mannat is proof that gives hope to those dreaming eyes, telling them to hold on to their dreams. This city is magical—you never know when, where, or how someone might cross your path, and your journey might just take off.)
Vineet recalls sitting outside Mannat when he felt low
He further added that he used to visit SRK's house whenever he felt low and said, "This is how I see things. Kayi baar aisa hua hai ki when I am feeling low, main Mannat ke bahar jaakar baith jaata hun, chai leta hun aur dekhta rehta hun. Main sochta yeh tha ki agar Shah Rukh Khan yahan aake. Yeh makaan nahi yeh himmat hai. So I just go and feel it and then return. You feel low sometimes in life, so you have to figure it out." (This is how I see things. Many times, when I am feeling low, I sit outside Mannat, get a cup of tea, and just keep watching. I used to think that if Shah Rukh Khan could come here… This is not just a house, this is courage.)
