Did Shah Rukh Khan ask Starbucks for personal office outlet? CEO spills the beans on Red Chillies request

For a man who barely sleeps, it's no wonder Shah Rukh Khan loves his coffee!

Tata Starbucks CEO Sushant Dash spilled the beans, revealing that the Khar outlet, located in SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment office, exists mainly because the superstar is a huge fan of the brand.

Sitting pretty on 15th Road, the ground-floor Starbucks in the Red Chillies building is a prime spot for meetings in the bustling Bandra-Khar area.

On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Dash was asked if this iconic location was really born from King Khan’s caffeine cravings.

‘He is a big fan, that’s what I have heard. He wanted a store at the building, where he had that space. It’s a beautiful store and that’s his place, he is the landlord. Someone from his office had approached, saying that he is very keen, would you guys be interested. It worked out and it is a lovely space,’ he shared.

Shah Rukh Khan's coffee obsession is no secret, and many who've worked with him have shared stories about it. Filmmaker Aanand L Rai once joked that SRK could survive on just tandoori chicken and coffee. Co-stars like Tamannaah Bhatia, Jawan actor Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, and Alia Bhatt have all commented on his love for the brew.

Alia Bhatt, who starred with SRK in Dear Zindagi, humorously recalled how during intense scenes, she once heard his stomach growl.

‘We’d be in the middle of heavy scenes, and suddenly I'd hear a growl—it was coming from his stomach. We used to give him biscuits because he drinks so much coffee, but barely eats. I always told him he should eat more,’ she said.
