Undercover in India's Most Notorious Black Market (I Got Caught!)
Jump to Connections
965,431 Views • Premiered Mar 16, 2023 • Click to toggle off description
I got caught filming undercover in India's most notorious black market - Heera Panna Bazaar in Mumbai. The market is famous for the sale of counterfeit luxury designer goods including handbags, watches, shoes, sunglasses, perfume, and shoes. You'll find all world's biggest designer brands there like Gucci, Rolex, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Christian Dior, and more.

Heera Panna Shopping Centre (हीरा पन्ना शॉपिंग सेंटर) actually started out as India's first Grey Market where Indians could buy luxury and premium goods that weren't yet available in India. Everyone, including Bollywood celebrities, used to shop there. But the market has suffered due to brands opening stores in India, and online retail. Now it's transformed in a counterfeit designer goods market.

Every few years it's raided by various Indian authorities. But despite that it continues to operate openly. They even have spotters located at the doors to spot for Police or cameras - I found that out first hand and had to quickly leave!

You can find the Heera Panna Shopping Centre on Google Maps goo.gl/maps/YXekkaEXBwus2p4Y6?entry=yt.

The beep from the metal detector wand when the security guard scans Karl at the beginning was because Karl has balls of steel.

Its pretty commendable how honest they are. Without missing a beat they tell you its a Chinese fake. At least they aren't trying to scam and its not like the luxury name brands are actually losing money because of this market.

Unless they are selling these fake products for lakhs I don't think this should be illegal. Like LV or Gucci bags aren't made up of 24 Carat Gold they're just overpriced so if we are getting a fake one (of good quality) for a cheaper amount then what's wrong with that? Also they tell you that it's a "copy" and not "real" bags

My favorite Karl Rocks videos are the ones where he takes us to the markets/street merchants, particularly the ones where certain shady stuff goes on or have a notoriety 😅

Heera Panna in the 80s and 90s was unlike what it is today.. It was more of imported stuff which was hard to get by cause of the Govt rules. But as time passed by ppl were more inclined towards what the so called stars are using and that is what got to its present state.. Btw.. Welcome to Mumbai 😍

People will always buy fake bags, because the real ones are so over priced. Shame your banned from the shopping centre, would’ve liked to see more. :_RockChai:

This reminds me of when I went to New York City for the first time. We wanted to go see Chinatown and they have a massive underground black market their. When it comes to designer bags, purses etc, some of them are so good in quality you can’t even tell the difference.

Somehow I think that lots of fake "celebrities" and "Instagram models" from abroad (and possibly from India as well), are buying their designer handbags/watches etc from this particular market, not knowing that we already know about it hahah :D Thanks again Karl and Manisha ✌️ PS: the handbags look sooo real btw, unbelievable
