Mumbai BJP MLA Parag Shah, one of the state's wealthiest legislators with assets reportedly exceeding ₹5,000 crore, recently spent several hours dressed as a beggar on the streets of Ghatkopar. The unusual experience, undertaken on the advice of a Jain spiritual guru, aimed to make him appreciate the true reality of life. Shah, who had removed his makeup and went by an unknown identity, went around the area seeking alms, reflecting on how people's behavior changes when a person's social status is unknown.
Despite his considerable wealth, Shah interacted with ordinary Mumbaikars, receiving and sharing food, and later recounted his experience to his guru and others. His experiment drew attention partly due to his considerable wealth, as he declared assets of over ₹3,383 crore in his 2024 Maharashtra Assembly election affidavit.
