    does NBC showcase american slum every time an american elite throws a party?
  • @moonbalancedd
    Did these people show the slums of San Francisco and LA when showing Kim and Kanye's wedding or Jay Z's wedding?
  • All these comments about helping the poor yet when the poor get rich they do the exact same thing.
  • Just hate this western biased media all the time. They have done faaarrrrrrr more in charity. 50000 people are eating for for 40 days as a part of food ceremony. 2.5milliom jobs created due to the wedding. 150 small business are booming. 55000 schools were given donations. So just shut up and be a responsible media. Always showing the negatives. India doesn’t ur validations.
  • @cocktailcorner
    Wow... American media cant report a news about india without showing the slums of Mumbai.. 😅 please grow up..
  • @BASP541
    Why don't your so called West Countries billionaires don't feeds poor ? He is working hard to give his family and even every year he donates millions of money.....
  • @sonalpatil3954
    Western media cannot digest their food without showing poverty and slum side of India which has part of every country 😂😂😂😂
  • @kunalshukla136
    Why are people jealous? He has earned this money through his hard work and he has complete freedom to spend it
  • @poojabm2284
    When a royal wedding happens in US or UK are the homeless gifted with homes and food? It’s always easy to point fingers at others😅
  • America's future or already America's present? We now have homeless folks everywhere. When I was a kid, we had virtually none, except for what we called a hobo.
  • @sujitray7405
    You compared the wedding with homeless. Is your country without any such people ...or who are not poor at all. All earn millions. So stop being jealous of India's growth. Thank you.
  • @KBar591
    Isn't this true for America & American Billionaires ? while there're thousands of homeless in metros, thousands of low income folks struggling to make ends meet, while billionaires boast their wealth with extravagant spending, parties... C'mon NBC let's improve America first..
  • @sansin6250
    How hard is it to for the west to understand that the billionaires of India, who already bear the heaviest tax burden in India, do not want to be burdened with the poverty of India, and do not want to be wealth shamed. Several billionaires have moved their domicile out of India in protest of over-taxation. If their tax burden is increased as the opposition party wants to do, the last few billionaires will leave India as well. No country has ever changed its fortune by driving out its billionaires. They run free schools, charities, food banks. They feed the locals for days during every wedding ceremony. And they don't want to be guilt shamed any more for splurging their wealth.
  • Hahaha..he is having money he is spending..why he should give to poor? Is he a government? What logic bro..😂😂😂
  • Why did you forget to mention that he held a mass wedding for poor families prior to holding the wedding for his son?
  • @evolving_cells
    They literally had a mass wedding celebration a few days ago, where they married 50 couples from the impoverished section of society. Not only that, they also gifted them with gold and money. Why wasn't this part of their celebration highlighted? Western media seriously need to grow up.
  • His own money, he knows what to do, this kind of things happen in all countries, but western media only highlight Ambani and India.... great.
  • @Rohannnnn_
    Who is gonna mention that they are providing free food for thousands of people everyday..who is going to mention that they hosted mass wedding for underprivileged providing 1 year of groceries, ornaments and financial support..and they provide clarity more than anyone in comment section ever could..and it's their money..they earned it..USA has most number of multi billionaires still there are homeless people
  • @rickflyer8369
    It's quite hard for west to talk about India without mentioning slums n poverty ..... Like as if in western countries there are no poor n homeless people .. India is 3rd richest country
