Kim Kardashian and the Kardashian clan are the OG influencers who have gained international fame since the early 2000s. Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian created hype in July 2024 after they visited India and attended the grand wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. During their visit, they also brought the camera crew of their show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and shot some parts of their trip for their show. Recently, that part was released in the show's new season where Kim revealed that Mumbai wasn't what she expected.

Kim Kardashian shares she thought Mumbai might be like 'Aladdin's marketplace'

In the recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians on Hulu, Kim and Khloe shared glimpses from their 48-hour trip to India orchestrated by the Ambani family, who had extended a special invitation to them. The LA-based reality stars arrived in Mumbai at midnight and were determined to make the most of their time in the city. As a result, they decided to explore the city before being a part of the big event. In their words: 

"We're planning to go to some of the local markets before we have to go to the wedding so we can enjoy as much of India as possible."

Kim Kardashian added that she was also on board with exploring the city. But, they were left disappointed because the Skimms founder thought that the local market in Mumbai might be like the marketplace they had seen in the 1992, animated film, Aladdin. For the unversed, the fictional fairytale was based on the the Middle Eastern city of Agrabah, not India. At the same time, they had to walk to street sellers and not in cars or rickshaws, where she saw stray dogs and honking cars. In Kim's words: 

"I thought it was going to be like the marketplace. This is like the streets. What do you see Aladdin going through and stealing some bread from? This is where I thought we were going. There are rickshaws going by, and everyone was so surprised, like: 'What the f*** are these people doing here?"

Netizens gave mixed responses to Kim Kardashian's expectations about India 

Kim Kardashian's startling revelations about her expectations of India left everyone stunned. Some netizens agree with her due to similarities in the film and India's streets. But others were left appalled and felt that the diva should rather visit the Middle East or Istanbul to experience something like it. One user penned, "That's because Aladdin takes place in Arabia. Maybe The Jungle Book might fit in better." Another netizen penned, "She is not alone associating India with Arabian history. Americans always show that especially in old pictures." A person trolled the reality stars and wrote:

"That is why education is important. A simple search could have saved from this embarrassment."

In the episode, when Kim met Nita Ambani and interacted with her, she found an inspiring woman like her mother, Kris Jenner, who efficiently manages a big family. They said: 

"Nita Ambani, she is the groom's mother. She is like Kris Jenner from the Ambani family. She has to be the one with the softer hands I have met all my life. Like seriously! Softer than tatums."
