Unexpected Naag Panchami guest at Mannat! 8-foot Dhaman snake rescued from SRK’s home
The approximately 8-foot-long snake was safely removed from the premises and later released into its natural habitat in accordance with Forest Department guidelines.
On Naag Panchami, a significant day for worshipping snakes in Hinduism, an unexpected guest appeared at Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's Mumbai residence, Mannat. A non-venomous Dhaman, or Indian rat snake, measuring approximately 8 feet in length, was found hiding beneath a staircase in the courtyard. The snake was coiled up and appeared frightened when rescuers arrived.
The incident occurred around 8 pm after two snakes were spotted in the lawn area. A forest department official, Deepak Dada Gaikwad, was promptly informed and coordinated a quick rescue operation. After the snake was safely removed and released into its natural habitat, the rescuer assured those present that the serpent was non-venomous and posed no threat.
