Oct 23, 2015 at 17:37 comment added Achim Krause Alexander-Poincare duality (as in Hatcher, Algebraic Topology, Thm. 3.44) shows that for any embedding of $Gr(k,n)$ into $Gr(k,n+1)$, the cohomology of the complement is related by a long exact sequence to the homology of $Gr(k,n)$ and the cohomology of $Gr(k,n+1)$. This suggests that the topology of the complement is very tightly constrained. To prove that there's no other possible complement is probably very hard, though. Still, this excludes the point and many other spaces essentially simpler than $Gr(k-1,n)$.
Oct 22, 2015 at 21:27 comment added Ali Taghavi Thank you for very interesting answer. Can one imagine some other embedding which remainder is a compact manifold with a different topological type (different from $Gr(k-1,n)$)
