While
it
is
known
that
Kangna
Ranaut
recently
bought
a
penthouse
apartment
(a
triplex)
on
the
11th
floor
of
a
Bandra
building,
no
one
is
aware
that
Sanjay
Dutt's
wife
Maanayata
helped
her
buy
her
dream
home.
The
actress
from
Himachal
Pradesh
had
been
looking
for
a
spacious
flat
for
some
time
as
she
wants
her
family
to
move
in
with
her.
The
actress
happened
to
mention
it
to
Dharam
Oberoi
(Sanju's
business
manager)
when
she
was
shooting
with
his
boss
for
Knock
Out.
Dharam
told
her
that
Maanayata
knew
some
builders
and
could
help
her.
The
actress
made
a
call
to
the
star
wife.
Maana
arranged
for
a
meeting
with
the
builders
and
Kangna
and
the
deal
was
struck.
The
spacious
flat
is
worth
over
Rs
15
crore
but
she
got
a
concession
because
of
Mrs
Dutt.
Not
just
that,
she
even
got
the
option
to
pay
the
money
over
a
period
of
time.
A
source
reveals,
"Kangna
told
Maana
that
she'd
liked
the
flat
and
was
interested
in
buying
it
but
she
didn't
have
the
money
upfront
and
wanted
to
pay
the
money
in
installments.
Maana
intervened
on
her
behalf
and
got
the
builders
to
agree.
Kangs,
a
single
girl
in
the
city,
was
grateful
for
the
star
biwi's
help.
They've
become
friends
since.
Dharam
confirms,
"When
Kangna
was
searching
for
a
flat
in
Bandra,
Maanayata
stepped
in
and
sorted
it
out
for
her;
plus
got
her
a
good
deal.
The
deal
is
final
and
the
flat
will
be
ready
by
next
year.
It's
a
sprawling
place
with
a
swimming
pool,
health
club
facilities,
etc.
Ms
Ranaut
will
have
a
private
lift
as
she
bought
the
penthouse.
It's
one
of
the
poshest
buildings
in
that
area.
She's
really
working
hard
on
the
payments
and
plans
to
move
in
by
next
year."
Says
the
Once
Upon
A
Time...
actress,
"I
was
looking
for
a
bigger
flat
as
I
want
my
family
to
live
with
me.
My
sister
is
getting
married
next
year
and
the
3-BHK
flat
I
stay
in,
is
going
to
be
too
small
for
us.
Maanayata
has
helped
me
get
a
good
deal." Last
month,
when
Kangna
was
in
Dubai,
she
went
shopping
for
her
pregnant
new
friend.
She
bought
a
lot
of
gifts
for
the
babies,
clothes,
toys,
and
maternity
clothes
for
the
mommy-to-be.
