Location of Lower Parel is also the reason
This flat is located in Parel area, which is considered to be one of the major business and residential hubs of Mumbai. Big buildings, corporate offices and many commercial centers are present here. For this reason, rents in this area are usually higher than many other areas of the city.
Debate broke out on social media
The video was posted in February and has received more than 1 crore views so far. Along with this, different reactions of people were seen in the comment section. One user expressed surprise and wrote, “Paying rent of Rs 1 lakh at the age of 23!” Another jokingly wrote, “Buy two houses in Nashik in this EMI.” Some people also compared it with other areas of Mumbai. One user wrote, “I am paying Rs 1 lakh rent in Borivali itself, now I will have to change the broker.”
Expensive for some, ‘Worth it’ for others
However, not everyone considers this fare to be high. Some users said that this fare is fine considering the location and view. One user wrote, “The fare is fine considering this view and location.” At the same time, some people also took a dig at the real estate market of Mumbai. One comment read, “Having this much rent in a stock market city is the biggest scam.”
Video reminded the real value of ‘Dream City’
Mumbai is often called the city of dreams, but the cost of living here is equally high. This viral video has once again shown that the greater the career opportunities in big cities, the greater is the cost of living here.
