Streets of Gold: Mumbai, a three-part BBC2 documentary series, provides viewers with a unique glimpse into the life of Mumbai’s wealthiest citizens, with a beautiful representation of the city’s super-rich. Mumbai is a city of contrasts, and the show focuses on the extremes of both riches and poverty in the city.
The documentary series immerses viewers in the lives of celebrities and tycoons, like author Shobhaa De and fashion designers Sandeep Khosla and Abu Jani. Nonetheless, Mukesh Ambani’s 27-story Antilia and millionaire Jimmy Mistry’s 22-story Della Tower are the two homes that really stand out for their beauty.
Mistry’s tower, which was modeled after Persepolis in ancient Persia, has an attraction that is difficult to resist. However, it is nothing compared to the massive Antilia, which is where Mukesh Ambani, especially his family, resides. Ambani’s mansion is the height of luxury, featuring three helipads, space for 168 luxury vehicles, a snow room, and 600 staff members.
About The Show
Before diving into Streets of Gold: Mumbai Episode 2, let’s quickly talk about the show. In a new three-part BBC2 documentary titled “Streets of Gold: Mumbai,” some of the city’s infamous “Bollygarchs” are going to open the gates to their multimillion-pound palaces, introducing viewers to the playroom of India’s billionaires.
This documentary series features exclusive access to some of India’s richest people, and it is narrated by Sunetra Sarker, former Casualty and Ackley Bridge star.
For the better part of the last two thousand years, the Indian subcontinent had the biggest economy on the globe. That legacy was destroyed by three centuries of colonial rule, but when India adopted the free market in 1991, its economy expanded at the quickest rate in its recent history. The ‘Super Rich’ had the sun shining on them.
This documentary miniseries is shot in India’s most glamorous city during the busiest periods of the year. Mumbai is the haven for India’s billionaires, millionaires, and ‘Bollygarchs,’ who reside in mansions that command the skyline. They lead lifestyles of unmatched luxury and have gained wealth faster than any other nation in history.
Jimmy Mistry, a business magnate, lives in a 22-story mansion in the glittering city that was modeled after the historic Perasepala. We accompany Yash Birla, a 22-year-old entrepreneur and influencer known for his flashy style, and Shobhaa De, India’s equivalent to Jackie Collins, as she has tea with her 3 young daughters at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.
In the meantime, Bollywood models and reality stars will be present at Abu and Sandeep’s opulent A-list fashion collection premiere.
