Exploring Mumbai's Richest Neighborhoods 🇮🇳

Mumbai is the 12th wealthiest city in the world wealthier than Toronto but up to half the population lives in slums and a lot of the neighbourhoods look like this so today I'm gonna show you what the other side of the tracks looks like what is the rich side of Mumbai [Music] [Music] [Music] this neighborhood is called Malabar Hill here we are Hanging Gardens quite nice greenest space have seen in the city [Music] what you like the Hat taro hello baby oh you again yes I am ready one more memory formerly in his nihilism holy moly the light that's right no I don't want I don't want it for free hasta la vista baby deal adios amigos mija ma che che so here we have marine drive that's how I got here but is this big bay here and there's a lot of Art Deco architecture and it's where a lot of Mumbai errs hangout so it's a little tough here see across the street to the left there's a guy with well a couple security guys and there's no going in there seems like all of these places all of these places have very tight security and almost a yes sir huh I shoot the streets its Main Street though it's normal Street not uh not somebody's house they told me come here to take pictures most beautiful USA is it thank you thank you okay bye bye there's a lot of like curious looks but the second you you smile or say namaste most people come out with a nice smile say namaste where are you from they always ask where you from they have like a few standard questions where are you from are you married you come here alone where's your hotel that's a weird one right like to tell a stranger where your hotel is it's not a threatening thing here I don't think but it's something I wouldn't normally do is be like hey here's what I'm saying this is the 12th seen in the world three accumulated wealth so you're taking let's just say 22 million people and compiling that well and boom you have the 12 from USA USA no not Asia USA America America yeah where is the center Malabar Hills where's the centers like them it's nice beautiful view ok ok thank you you'll never get the same set of directions in India I don't know what it is but if you ask someone one time one person will tell you go that way the next person will tell you to go the other way and the distances I've noticed some guy was like all the restaurants 20 minutes away and it was literally it was literally like where this red sign is that's it it's much different part of the world and I love it I love it I love that you have to adapt you have to adapt to India or you just you'd be miserable you'd hate your life here but if I'm going to pick one place in the world and say India is that place where you just feel more alive as a human being than anywhere else and you see this or just walking along and out of the blue it's this this situation people living on the streets you're heartbroken every day because you see such rife poverty you see people just getting through life barely without limbs deformed faces whatever it might be like there's a lot of just getting by here and you have to block it out eventually I think it's like a doctor a doctor who's been a doctor for years and he can't take every you know bad situation to heart because he would just be destroyed as a person and I think that's sort of how it happens here I don't know I haven't lived here but I think people become somewhat immune to it it becomes normalized you have to ignore it after a while or you'll just take it all in and it becomes too heavy this is cool this whole colonial looking building here looks like it's getting a bit nice throw some orange on the some fresh paint so as a good sign when people have money to buy flowers but I'm not seeing the Jaguars the the nice Benz is rolling by so don't think I'm in the right neighborhood yet there we go Javon Villa here's the chief justice house I'm not criticizing the neighborhood at all what I'm trying to understand is everyone on online said this is this is the most expensive real estate in the city Malabar Hill I'm not seeing her getting it at all and I'm walking I've been walking the last two and a half hours this is interesting some Hindu ceremonial place no it's very respectable about India is they've very much retained their culture here it's a family orientated place it's an ancient culture with food religion music and sure westernization has creeped in but it still feels very much India and I respect those cultures some some some places lose their identity and the the rapid transformation to becoming Western and then they lose what's special about them what it is a place that it's not for everyone I suggest everyone goes to India at one point in their life do two things in their life work at a restaurant as a waiter or waitress when you're young and go to Indian that will tell you more about humanity and those two things pretty much pretty much anything else restaurants because you're dealing with people's emotions you're dealing with food you're dealing with all different personality types and you have to adjust if you want to be good at what you're doing you have to adjust and read these situations in India you have to let go of control completely and you also have to not expect anything I expected some super posh neighborhood with a bunch of Jaguars and Mercedes driving around I haven't seen it I know that's here maybe it's not maybe it's not here I don't know I mean that is super expensive real estate all these tall towers but then at the bottom it's India in India always push through you know what you know what happened yesterday it was a hectic day in the slums and I was beat I mean this stuff is draining and my body took on this weird relaxed state I just went into this very relaxed state and the horns were loud the poverty in your face and all this all this chaos in the body just sort of copes with it I think by doing the opposite and just going into this you know not taking in the anxiety but just doing the opposite and going into this very melodic calm place we got a little guy here what's up buddy namaste you got a kite cool what's that England no no you live here buddy you live right here okay that's your place nice chocolate selection it's more than chocolate modern chocolate yeah some very cool art deco-style love this building porthole windows up there a little bit like a ship this way or this way this nicer okay guys we're pulling the plug on this neighborhood Malabar Hill and going to a place I just heard from a guy saying more of the new money there's more wealth than in Banjara West so we're gonna go to the world's second most expensive house and then - Bonjour West come to a much wealthier neighborhood here I knew it was here and this is the second most expensive home in the world after Buckingham Palace valued at over 1 billion dollars the home of Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in 400,000 square feet he employs 600 people to work there beautiful greenery up the side of the building proper security it was stunning okay okay I don't know what that means I'm gonna put the camera I go in sir can I go in can I go in which one pose to see the home they're not getting our boarding appointment no I'm a tourist I'm tourists it was beautiful man tell Mukesh I'm Bonnie yeah Peter's here for him thank you wow this is the guys home can you believe that security was was mixed guy was shaking his head no and then they they warmed up unbelievable I'm trying to get around the other side we got this building here I don't think that's a guys come I think that's a proper office building curious what the square footage is how much things go for here you have to be a multi-millionaire to afford something like that I think you do so back there the we got the Indian head nod which is that you know you have to be born here to be able to do it it can mean yes it can mean no it can mean maybe what are what do people what do you Indians think about this this home it's quite ostentatious like in their face right crazy just right around the corner from that home skyscraper or whatever you want to call it is this environment I can't put the camera in there but people just sleeping under the highway little rats running around so extreme [Music] [Music] you're fired up so this is it Bonjour West quite a long way from South Mumbai you guys saw some very nice buildings along the water a big bridge and first impressions of this part of the city is it's more livable like there are a lot of nice tree-lined streets a lot of cafes a lot of shops seems younger here I would say some nice places on the beach looks like it's you guys kiss chaos looks like the cool young place yeah what's up go I'm not Johnny sins what's up brother it's your name that's what it is together are you from this is Pali Hill Road a lot of little little businesses for the restaurants tattoos piercings even nachos you have a Mexican scene going on over here I was told this goes off at night this is one of the pumping nightlife spots of the city how long is this cookie shop been here for how many years this is really nice cafe scene there nice tree-lined streets a lot of cool residences I'm sure behind these gates it's got more of a relaxed feel to it lots of coconut falling that would ten that would kill somebody there's no real one concentrated neighborhood where everything's nice and everyone's in amazing cars okay it's such a massive city it's spread out and a lot of the wealth like many parts of the world is back behind walls that are inaccessible starting to get quite cool in here got some new apartment buildings looks like a new one up there namaste its Pali Hill how they help local confirmation it is probably sure this is when you know you're in the wealthier neighborhood and there's dog walkers weightless it's clean relatively clean very clean for India and it's no joke what's going on here timeless life yeah namaste timeless life this is the end of the tour of the wealthy neighborhoods in Mumbai Malabar Hill this where we were this morning which everyone said was the nicest neighborhood I'm gonna say this place is much nicer Pali Hill it's cleaner there's more vegetation the buildings are nicer with that said as an outsider it's really hard to know where to go and all the really nice stuff is blocked off and there's no access to it so anyways hope it gave you a good good little teaser of the nice neighborhoods here that contrasts heavily with the other video I did about Dada be one of the world's biggest slums which was an amazing experience it is a very cool experience I had there so if you're interested check that one out and that sums up Mumbai for you it's the land of extremes until next video thanks for watching
