As India looks to the coming century, a new generation is hoping to become the super-rich of tomorrow, and the actions they take today will shape the country’s future.

But as India develops, will it be able to future-proof the prospects for its young people? Can it feed, house and educate them, and provide good jobs so they can support and nurture the next generation?

India’s development is at a crux point, but it is clear is that the young people of Mumbai are transforming the city in their own image.

  1. Meanwhile India is oneof the richest countries inthe entire world. top coal producer, various minerals, agriculture. It's just poorly managed riddled with corruption and greed. India has some of the richest people on earth, mega billionaires. Hardly anyone cares about their own people. What makes you think they'd care about host nation they mass migrate into. think about that.

  2. I think this is why people don’t always love nepo babies- it’s so much nicer seeing stories like this than hearing about celebrities’ children who already have more than they could ever dream of

  3. Like what the hell? She’s famous and doesn’t even get a penny for this?? Something is off

  4. the 3 boys at the end also seem so sweet, lovely to see such wonderful and beautiful people happy and joyful even in dire situations.

  5. I can see why his daughter is beautiful, her dad looks so good too! Genetics are on full display here.

  6. She literally said she dreams of getting 1M followers on her IG and ya'll have not put her IG handle in the video bio? Are we kidding here?

  7. India people deserve better THAN THIS MODI… Don't export your unemployment to the world. Indian Politicians need to FIX INDIA. Period. This is so sad for anyone who has children in the west, heart breaking ,how many more unknown unamed kids suffer in India.. Yes. India Shame on you ALL. The holy Ganges is a disgrace. Fix THIS. China has raised millions out of poverty – India can do it TOO. All Indian children deserve a future and hope.

  8. lol super model living on street amazing …i hope person who let that happend have enought money! i hate cheap people

  9. comes from the slum and gets deal with one of the largest skin care brands because of her looks. Tells you exactly how trustworthy those products and brands are.

  10. 🥹Just goes to show, no matter how disadvantaged you start out, you too can be sexualized for money if you’re attractive and thin enough 🥲

  11. I hope she isn't being exploited. It's weird in general that an American thought a 12 year old could be a model wtf

  12. я совершенно забыл насколько могут быть прекрасны люди в других странах, пусть счастье будет у всех

  13. She is stunning. She doesn't have all of the fancy toiletries & beauty products we all have in our cabinets. But yet her hair is long & healthy, her skin is flawless, & her teeth shine just as bright as her kind heart. True natural beauty inside & out! 🇮🇳

  14. I WISH HER LOTS IF LUCK AND HAPPINESS AND HOPE SHE SUCCEEDS IN HER DREAMM SOOO PROUD OF HER🫶🏼🥹

  15. The moment she made her father proud is every person dream, wishing her and her family the most success in the future.

  16. For some reason people are really jealous of people like her , beacuse they come from poverty and cant stand to see someone shine….. there was another indian young girl who was murdered to she had blue eyes and was dark skin, also a model. I wouldnt be suprised if it was men murdering these young women because they cant have them and get rejected ….

  17. That one photo shoot should have given her and her family enough to get out of the slums. That she’s still there is nothing short of exploitation 😢

  18. She’s not ugly – but the pictures look nothing like her. It’s silly how much photoshop is unnecessarily used. She is a child, they don’t have to make her look 22-25+ in these photos 🙉
