Kim Kardashian had hoped to fulfill her Princess Jasmine dreams, but her experience in India was far from the world of the Disney movie Aladdin.
During a recent episode of The Kardashians on Thursday, March 13, Kim, 44, and her sister Khloé Kardashian jetted off to Mumbai, India, to attend the wedding of billionaire heir Anant Ambani and his now-wife Radhika Merchant. The sisters took the opportunity to explore India before the extravagant six-day event held in July 2024.
However, things didn’t go smoothly at the beginning when a dog approached Kim. She made it clear to Khloé that she wasn’t comfortable with random dogs. Khloé, on the other hand, was more welcoming to the animal and even pointed out some kittens, which caught Kim’s attention more.
The stroll itself surprised Kim and Khloé, who were used to being driven around in Los Angeles.
“I thought it was going to be like the marketplace,” Kim said in a confessional. “This is like the streets.”
She continued: “What you see Aladdin going through and stealing the bread from. That is where I thought we were going.”
Kim and Khloé were able to make the most of their walk by buying some gifts for their family. They had to step into a jewelry store after getting caught in some rain, since July is usually “monsoon season” in India. At the store, Kim and Khloé purchased silver pill boxes “to put by” their beds for everyone in the family.
In a post-credits scene, Kim elaborated on her love for Disney movies, adding, “I just feel like Princess Jasmine. This is where I am meant to be.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Kourtney Kardashian took part in the Run Travis Run 5K in support of husband Travis Barker. While Barker, 49, ran most of the way, Kourtney, 45, opted to speed walk instead.
Kris Jenner was featured on The Kardashians as well, weeks after her sister Karen Houghton died at age 65. Houghton died in March 2024 from cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac arrhythmia. Type 2 diabetes served as a secondary underlying cause.
Kris, 69, refused to elaborate on her sister’s passing when asked by producers. She previously honored her sister in an emotional post.
“It is with the heaviest heart and deepest sadness that I share that my sister Karen passed away yesterday unexpectedly. My heart aches for my mom MJ and my niece Natalie and I pray that God guides us all through this difficult time,” she wrote via Instagram. “Karen was beautiful inside and out. She was the sweetest, kindest, the most sensitive and vulnerable and so so funny.”
She added: “She always felt grateful and thankful for her life and treasured her family and friends and especially her beautiful daughter. She holds such a huge part of my heart and I cherish every single memory we have together. Karen’s passing is a reminder that life is so short and precious and tomorrow is never promised. We must tell those we cherish how much we love them. I love you my beautiful sister.”
New episodes of The Kardashians air on Hulu every Thursday.
