Russian Influencer Revises View on Mumbai Pani Puri After Seeing Dubai Price
Russian influencer Irina Rudakova initially expressed surprise at the Rs 60 price of pani puri in Mumbai's Lokhandwala Market, questioning its cost. After later tasting and enjoying the snack, she posted a follow-up video from Dubai's airport where pani puri was priced at 42 UAE dirhams (about Rs 1,096). She humorously admitted her earlier judgment was wrong and said she would return to Mumbai, highlighting the stark price difference between the two locations. The videos sparked amusement and discussion on social media.
