• Australian vlogger Pete Zogoulas posted an Instagram clip titled “I Tried Surviving India’s ‘Deadliest Slum’” and uploaded a longer version to YouTube documenting a three-day stay in Dharavi.
• The videos include interior home footage, cramped living conditions, and a brief robbery snippet presented as part of the narrative.
• He appears with a local woman named Ayushi, stating on camera that he paid her to participate as she was described as afraid to proceed.
• Reaction across Indian social media has been largely critical for sensationalising poverty, though some commenters called the footage eye‑opening about urban hardship.
• The posts remain live, and Zogoulas’s channel—reported at roughly 262,000 YouTube subscribers—has amplified the content’s reach.
