Mumbai is the 12th wealthiest city in
[4]
the world wealthier than Toronto but up
[9]
to half the population lives in slums
[13]
and a lot of the neighbourhoods look
[15]
like this so today I'm gonna show you
[20]
what the other side of the tracks looks
[22]
like what is the rich side of Mumbai
[28]
[Music]
[37]
[Music]
[47]
[Music]
[60]
this neighborhood is called Malabar Hill
[65]
here we are Hanging Gardens quite nice
[69]
greenest space have seen in the city
[78]
[Music]
[85]
what you like the Hat taro hello baby oh
[93]

[94]
yes I am ready one more memory formerly
[98]
in his nihilism holy moly
[100]
the light that's right no I don't want I
[108]
don't want it for free hasta la vista
[111]
baby
[111]
deal adios amigos mija ma che che so
[121]
here we have marine drive that's how I
[124]
got here but is this big bay here and
[128]
there's a lot of Art Deco architecture
[130]
and it's where a lot of Mumbai errs
[135]
hangout so it's a little tough here see
[139]
across the street to the left there's a
[141]
guy with well a couple security guys
[145]
and there's no going in there seems like
[148]
all of these places all of these places
[151]
have very tight security and almost a
[157]
yes sir huh
[160]
I shoot the streets its Main Street
[166]
though it's normal Street not uh not
[169]
somebody's house they told me come here
[171]
to take pictures most beautiful USA is
[177]
it thank you thank you okay bye bye
[183]
there's a lot of like curious looks but
[186]
the second you you smile or say namaste
[189]
most people come out with a nice smile
[193]
say namaste where are you from they
[195]
always ask where you from
[196]
they have like a few standard questions
[198]
where are you from are you married you
[201]
come here alone where's your hotel
[203]
that's a weird one right like to tell a
[206]
stranger where your hotel is
[209]
it's not a threatening thing here I
[211]
don't think but it's something I
[213]
wouldn't normally do is be like hey
[214]
here's what I'm saying this is the 12th
[217]
seen in the world three accumulated
[218]
wealth so you're taking let's just say
[221]
22 million people and compiling that
[224]
well and boom you have the 12 from USA
[228]
USA
[233]
no not Asia USA America America yeah
[236]
where is the center Malabar Hills
[238]
where's the centers like them it's nice
[242]
beautiful view ok ok thank you
[248]
you'll never get the same set of
[250]
directions in India I don't know what it
[253]
is but if you ask someone one time one
[256]
person will tell you go that way the
[259]
next person will tell you to go the
[261]
other way and the distances I've noticed
[265]
some guy was like all the restaurants 20
[267]
minutes away and it was literally it was
[271]
literally like where this red sign is
[275]
that's it it's much different part of
[280]
the world and I love it I love it I love
[282]
that you have to adapt you have to adapt
[287]
to India or you just you'd be miserable
[289]
you'd hate your life here but if I'm
[291]
going to pick one place in the world and
[294]
say India is that place where
[298]
you just feel more alive as a human
[301]
being than anywhere else and you see
[305]
this or just walking along and out of
[311]
the blue it's this this situation
[315]
people living on the streets you're
[318]
heartbroken every day because you see
[321]
such rife poverty you see people just
[323]
getting through life barely without
[328]
limbs deformed faces whatever it might
[332]
be like there's a lot of just getting by
[334]
here and you have to block it out
[337]
eventually I think it's like a doctor a
[341]
doctor who's been a doctor for years and
[344]
he can't take every you know bad
[347]
situation to heart because he would just
[351]
be destroyed as a person and I think
[354]
that's sort of how it happens here I
[357]
don't know I haven't lived here but I
[359]
think people become somewhat immune to
[362]
it it becomes normalized you have to
[365]
ignore it after a while
[366]
or you'll just take it all in and it
[369]
becomes too heavy this is cool this
[372]
whole colonial looking building here
[374]
looks like it's getting a bit nice throw
[376]
some orange on the some fresh paint so
[382]
as a good sign
[383]
when people have money to buy flowers
[388]
but I'm not seeing the Jaguars the the
[391]
nice Benz is rolling by so don't think
[395]
I'm in the right neighborhood yet there
[397]
we go
[400]
Javon Villa here's the chief justice
[406]
house I'm not criticizing the
[409]
neighborhood at all what I'm trying to
[411]
understand is everyone on online said
[415]
this is this is the most expensive real
[417]
estate in the city Malabar Hill
[424]
I'm not seeing her getting it at all and
[428]
I'm walking I've been walking the last
[433]
two and a half hours
[437]
this is interesting some Hindu
[440]
ceremonial place no it's very
[443]
respectable about India is they've very
[446]
much retained their culture here
[449]
it's a family orientated place
[454]
it's an ancient culture with food
[456]
religion music and sure westernization
[461]
has creeped in but it still feels very
[464]
much India and I respect those cultures
[468]
some some some places lose their
[470]
identity and the the rapid
[472]
transformation to becoming Western and
[476]
then they lose what's special about them
[479]
what it is a place that it's not for
[483]
everyone I suggest everyone goes to
[487]
India at one point in their life do two
[490]
things in their life work at a
[491]
restaurant as a waiter or waitress when
[494]
you're young and go to Indian that will
[496]
tell you more about humanity and those
[499]
two things pretty much pretty much
[501]
anything else restaurants because you're
[504]
dealing with people's emotions you're
[505]
dealing with food you're dealing with
[506]
all different personality types and you
[509]
have to adjust if you want to be good at
[510]
what you're doing you have to adjust and
[512]
read these situations in India you have
[516]
to let go of control completely and you
[521]
also have to not expect anything I
[525]
expected some super posh neighborhood
[531]
with a bunch of Jaguars and Mercedes
[535]
driving around I haven't seen it I know
[536]
that's here maybe it's not maybe it's
[539]
not here I don't know I mean that is
[543]
super expensive real estate all these
[545]
tall towers but then at the bottom it's
[551]
India in India always push through you
[554]
know what you know what happened
[555]
yesterday it was a hectic day in the
[558]
slums and I was beat I mean this stuff
[562]
is draining and
[565]
my body took on this weird relaxed state
[570]
I just went into this very relaxed state
[573]
and the horns were loud the poverty in
[576]
your face and all this all this chaos in
[579]
the body just sort of copes with it I
[582]
think by doing the opposite and just
[584]
going into this you know not taking in
[586]
the anxiety but just doing the opposite
[589]
and going into this very melodic calm
[592]
place we got a little guy here what's up
[596]
buddy namaste
[598]
you got a kite cool what's that
[603]
England no no you live here buddy you
[612]
live right here okay that's your place
[617]
nice chocolate selection it's more than
[620]
chocolate modern chocolate yeah
[625]
some very cool art deco-style love this
[629]
building
[632]
porthole windows up there a little bit
[636]
like a ship this way or this way this
[639]
nicer okay guys we're pulling the plug
[643]
on this neighborhood Malabar Hill and
[646]
going to a place I just heard from a guy
[648]
saying more of the new money there's
[651]
more wealth than in Banjara West so
[655]
we're gonna go to the world's second
[657]
most expensive house and then - Bonjour
[661]
West
[668]
come to a much wealthier neighborhood
[671]
here I knew it was here and this is the
[675]
second most expensive home in the world
[679]
after Buckingham Palace valued at over 1
[684]
billion dollars the home of Mukesh
[687]
Ambani is the richest man in
[691]
400,000 square feet he employs 600
[695]
people to work there beautiful greenery
[698]
up the side of the building proper
[701]

[759]
around the other side we got this
[761]
building here I don't think that's a

guys come I think that's a proper office
[765]
building curious what the square footage
[768]
is how much things go for here you have
[773]
to be a multi-millionaire to afford
[775]
something like that
[776]
I think you do so back there the we got
[780]
the Indian head nod which is that you
[783]
know you have to be born here to be able
[784]
to do it it can mean yes it can mean no
[788]
it can mean maybe
[800]
what are what do people what do you
[802]
Indians think about this this home it's
[808]
quite ostentatious like in their face
[811]
right
[815]
crazy just right around the corner from
[818]
that home skyscraper or whatever you
[821]
want to call it is this environment I
[823]

[920]
it's more livable like there are a lot
[923]

this is really nice cafe scene there
[1012]
nice tree-lined streets a lot of cool

lots of coconut falling that would ten
[1033]
that would kill somebody there's no real
[1036]
one concentrated neighborhood where
[1039]
everything's nice and everyone's in
[1041]
amazing cars okay it's such a massive
[1045]
city it's spread out and a lot of the
[1048]
wealth like many parts of the world is
[1051]
back behind walls that are inaccessible
[1061]
starting to get quite cool in here got
[1064]
some new apartment buildings looks like
[1067]
a new one up there namaste its Pali Hill
[1071]

this is the end of the tour of the
[1112]
wealthy neighborhoods in Mumbai Malabar
[1115]
Hill this where we were this morning
[1117]
which everyone said was the nicest
[1119]
neighborhood I'm gonna say this place is
[1122]
much nicer Pali Hill it's cleaner
[1125]
there's more vegetation the buildings
[1128]
are nicer with that said as an outsider
[1132]
it's really hard to know where to go and
[1133]
all the really nice stuff is blocked off
[1136]
and there's no access to it so anyways
[1140]
hope it gave you a good good little
[1143]
teaser of the nice neighborhoods here
[1145]
that contrasts heavily with the other
[1147]
video I did about Dada be one of the
[1150]
world's biggest slums which was an
[1153]
amazing experience it is a very cool
[1154]
experience I had there so if you're
