Aussie influencer's Mumbai mall video shocks viewers after he says THIS about India– Watch now
A video by Australian content creator Jeremy Franco has gone viral online, sparking fresh discussion about the visible contrast between wealth and poverty in Indian cities. Shot at Mumbai's Phoenix Palladium Mall– a destination known for luxury brands– the clip captures Franco sharing his thoughts on the economic disparity seen just outside the mall's doors. 'India is poor and rich at the same time' In the video, Franco walks through the upscale mall located in Lower Parel, stopping by international labels like Gucci and Dior. While filming, he remarks: 'One thing about India is that you can go from filthy poor to filthy rich in two seconds, because tell me why I'm in a luxury store and two metres outside this place could be the set of Slumdog Millionaire.' The quote, combined with a text overlay that reads 'India is poor and rich at the same time,' highlights the theme of contrast– a reality many living in or visiting Mumbai are familiar with. The sharp difference between lavish interiors and the street scenes just outside has drawn strong reactions online. Reactions: Agreement, discomfort, and criticism The video has led to a wave of mixed responses. Some users echoed Franco's observations, pointing out the very real class divide that exists in Mumbai and other large cities. One user wrote: 'Wealth disparity in India is quite insane, yes.' Another shared their own memory, saying: 'I remember that the first time I landed in Bombay as a kid, I was perplexed by the have and have-nots, side by side. Duality is a way better word for it. Almost nothing like it.' But not everyone agreed with the video's portrayal. Some criticised what they saw as a narrow take, one that focuses too heavily on poverty and ignores the wider picture. One viewer commented: 'India's diverse beauty is often overlooked by foreign content creators who focus on slums and street food for followers.' A broader issue beyond borders The conversation also expanded beyond India, touching on inequality seen in other parts of the world. A viewer compared the situation to their experience in the US, saying: 'Lived in the US. The physical boundaries between rich and poor neighbourhoods shocked me. And also, poor work - there is no danger like in the US. I'm not justifying inequality, that's terrible, but proximity, I think, is better than apartheid in the US. ' Still, others felt the content didn't reveal anything new. For many, it simply pointed out what Mumbai has long represented– a city where extremes often sit side by side. As one comment put it: 'That's just Bombay in a nutshell.' Thumb image credits: Instagram

13 Iconic Celebrity Wedding Dresses Of Past 25 Years
It's wedding season, and that means it's time to revisit the most iconic, beautiful, and glamorous celebrity wedding dresses of the past 25 years. Whether you're looking for inspo or just want to admire some gorgeous gowns, enjoy! Kate Middleton's Grace Kelly-inspired gown for her 2011 wedding to Prince William: In 2021, Lily Collins married director Charlie McDowell in, dare I say, one of the most beloved wedding dresses of the century. She worked with Ralph Lauren to create the gown and hooded lace cloak, and shared in an Instagram post that the design was her "ultimate dream combination of Western Americana and British Victorian." When Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas in 2018, the pair celebrated over multiple days and multiple ceremonies. For their western ceremony, she wore a lace Ralph Lauren dress that was hand-beaded and hand-embroidered and featured a stunning 75-foot veil. And for their Hindu ceremony, Priyanka stunned in a lehenga in the traditional red from Indian designer Sabyasachi. If you were on the internet in any capacity when the couple tied the knot in 2018, there was no escaping discussion of their gorgeous wedding. It was one for the books! Issa Rae surprised fans with her "impromptu" wedding to Louis Diame in 2021. The pair got married in France, and her dress was to die for. Louis's Dolce & Gabbana suit looks incredible, as well! Another fantastic cape moment: Solange Knowles' jumpsuit for her New Orleans wedding to Alan Ferguson. If there's anything cooler than the bride and groom arriving by bike, it's this cape. Kiera Knightley married musician James Righton in a small, private ceremony in the South of France. She wore a tulle Chanel dress, and because she is the iconic Kiera Knightley, she has stunned in the dress at multiple events since then. Sustainable queen! Julianne Moore looked fabulous in a non-traditional look for her wedding to Bart Freundlich in 2003. She kept it low-key but nonetheless radiant in a lavender silk slip dress from Prada, matching her husband's lavender dress shirt. In 2023, Anya Taylor-Joy and musician Malcolm McRae celebrated their marriage in Venice, Italy, for which she wore this beautiful Dior gown. Their large celebration might have been in Venice, but the two had already secretly eloped in New Orleans some months before. Anya shared gorgeous pictures of the New Orleans affair on her Instagram. In 2002, wearing the most early-aughts fairytale look I've seen yet, Gwen Stefani married her now ex-husband Gavin in a glorious pink and white ombré gown from Dior. Instead of having a new gown designed for her 2020 marriage to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice borrowed and modified an old dress from her grandmother, none other than Queen Elizabeth herself. Beatrice also got to borrow her grandma's diamond tiara, no biggie. Queen Elizabeth originally wore the Norman Hartnell gown to the 1962 premiere of Lawrence of Arabia. The dress was refitted, hemmed, and cap sleeves were added, making it the perfect look for Beatrice's big day. This one might be my favorite on the list. Keyword might. Check out more pictures on the Royal Family's Instagram account! Emma Stone first met her now-husband Dave McCary when she hosted Saturday Night Live in 2016. Their wedding was pretty private, but we did get to admire her reception dress when she re-wore it at the 2022 Met Gala. When Hailey and Justin Bieber got married in their 2019 ceremony, she wore a gown designed by the late Virgil Abloh featuring the veil that took Instagram by storm. "TILL DEATH DO US PART," the veil read. Miranda Kerr looked like a princess in Dior at her 2017 wedding to Evan Spiegel — which is no surprise, considering she told Vogue she was inspired by Grace Kelley's gown. For more pictures, check out Miranda's Instagram. And finally, a special mention to honor an icon: although their wedding was more than 25 years ago, I would be remiss not to mention the black gown Sarah Jessica Parker wore to wed Matthew Broderick in their 1997 ceremony. Icon. Which of these celeb wedding dresses is your favorite? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Princess Kate serves in white look, sits next to Billie Jean King at Wimbledon
Princess Kate served during her royal return to Wimbledon. In a chic white ensemble, Kate attended the Saturday, July 12, match of the ladies' singles final at the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. The Princess of Wales was seated next to American tennis great Billie Jean King for the affair and received an emotional welcome from the crowd. In an X video shared by the tennis tournament, tennis royalty met British royalty as Kate shook hands with King upon her arrival and appeared gleeful to watch the much-anticipated match while receiving a standing ovation. Princess Kate dazzles in Dior alongside Prince William "Centre Court rises to give a warm welcome to our Patron HRH The Princess of Wales," Wimbledon's post reads. In the clip, Kate turned heads in a white top with a belt and pockets paired with a cream pleated skirt, a nod to the princess's favored monochrome wardrobe. 'Great to be back at @Wimbledon!' Her Wimbledon appearance comes after she said earlier this month that she put on a "brave face" throughout and following her cancer treatment last year, detailing the ordeal as a life-changing experience. "You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually the phase afterwards is really, really difficult," Kate said during a visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex, located in southeast England, on Wednesday, July 2. Princess Kate says life after cancer is a 'roller coaster' The 43-year-old wife of Prince William, first in line to the British throne, announced in March last year that she would undergo a course of chemotherapy, weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles III, announced his own cancer diagnosis. In January, she announced her cancer was in remission after an appearance at the hospital where she was treated. While slowly reemerging into royal life, the Princess of Wales, 42, made a rare appearance last year during the men's singles final at Wimbledon, where she flashed a big smile as she arrived and waved to the crowd. The princess wore a purple Safiyaa dress with a ruched bodice and carried a tan bag, accessorizing with gold jewelry. She also donned her signature purple-and-green striped bow, the official colors of the All England Club, of which she is a patron. The pit stop marked one of her only public appearances in 2024. "Great to be back at @Wimbledon!" Kate shared on Instagram. "There's nothing quite like The Championships." Contributing: Staff and wire reports, Brendan Morrow
