Failed to Find the “Disney” Marketplace

Kim Kardashian Was Showered in Diamonds During Her First Ever Trip to India—Until One of Them Mysteriously Disappeared

What happened next sparked outrage online.

Failed to Find the “Disney” Marketplace
Kim Kardashian needs no introduction, and she never fails to make headlines wherever she goes. In July last year, she and her sister Khloé traveled to India for Anant Ambani’s wedding, expecting a magical experience straight out of Disney’s Aladdin. But they got a surprise.

The sisters assumed the bustling markets they’d visit would resemble those in the 1992 animated film’s fictional city of Agrabah. Instead, Kim quickly realized reality wasn’t quite what she’d imagined.

“I thought it would all feel like the movie market,” Kim admitted. “But it’s more like just streets.”

She continued, “I pictured Aladdin sneaking around stealing bread—that’s where I thought we were going.”

A Diamond Goes Missing at the Ambani Wedding
Kim and Khloé arrived at Anant Ambani’s lavish wedding on March 13 (as shown in The Kardashians). The bride and groom, heirs to billionaire Mukesh Ambani, hosted a star‑studded celebration in Mumbai, attended by the likes of Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, and John Cena. Kim and Khloé wore over 1,000 carats of diamonds, emeralds, and pearls, courtesy of longtime friend and jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

But the glamour turned to panic when Kim realized a diamond from her necklace had vanished. As the sisters frantically searched the floor, Kim exclaimed, “Oh my God. I’m going to have to pay for this.”

Despite the tension, they continued posing for photos, with Kim assuring cameras, “Don’t get me wrong—we are absolutely concerned about the fate of this diamond.”

Internet Backlash
Netizens were quick to react, sniping, “Lost or stolen?” Some fans pointed out it wasn’t the first time Kim had misplaced expensive jewelry. One joked, “Poor thing—should we crowdfund for her?” Others quipped, “Recycled storyline—she’s always losing diamonds.” Another claimed she did it on purpose just to steal the spotlight.

This isn’t the first time Kim’s relationship with diamonds has made headlines. In 2011, she famously lost a diamond earring in the ocean while vacationing in Bora Bora—a memorable moment on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. “Kim, there are people who are dying,” her sister Kourtney scolded, a line that became reality‑TV gold.

Kim has since joked that people still ask her about that earring whenever she’s near water. In a 2023 interview, she revealed Kylie Jenner even retrieved the earring after diving in with goggles.

A New Era Without Flashy Jewelry
Despite the periodic drama, Kim has said she may never buy such expensive pieces again after being held at gunpoint during her 2016 Paris robbery, where thieves made off with about $10 million in jewelry. In a 2021 interview, she explained that she no longer keeps high‑end gems due to the trauma. After the latest incident, one social‑media user commented, “Maybe we shouldn’t gift her any more diamonds.”

Clearly, diamonds and Kim Kardashian have a complicated relationship—but the drama, as always, continues.
