‘Bhai, chal kya raha hai Mumbai mein?’: Woman rejected as tenant over her ‘numerology number’
A content creator alleged that a ‘posh Mumbai landlady’ rejected her friend as a tenant over her ‘numerology number’.
An Instagram post by a content creator exposed a hilarious yet frustrating new hurdle for renters in Mumbai: numerological vetting. The woman recalled accompanying a friend to a flat viewing where the affluent landlady asked for the prospective tenant's numerology number.
“Guess what this landlady does for a living,” Vagmita Singh wrote on Instagram while sharing a video.

The clip opens with her saying, “Bhai, chal kya raha hai Mumbai mein?” She goes on to say that she had heard tenants being rejected for eating non-veg or being unmarried. However, a recent encounter left her dumbfounded when a landlady cited a numerology number as the reason for rejection.
Singh recalled it happened when she visited a place that her friend wanted to rent. The landlady asked for her friend’s number, and the confused woman gave out her phone number.
At this point, the “posh” landlady laughed and told them that she wanted her numerology number, eventually teaching Singh and her friend how to calculate it.
“My friend's number is number 7 and this lady says, ‘Actually, darling, my house is number 4. You’re number 7. It will be a bad mismatch’,” Singh recalled.
She continued, “My friend got rejected as a tenant because of her numerology number.”

What did social media say?
An individual wrote, “Haha! Apt for some Mumbai house owners! I once met a landlady who stood at the gate and refused to set foot inside the house a minute earlier or later, saying she’d only meet me at the correct time. I saw so many red flags in my 10 min interaction with her that I just respectfully walked away. Clearly, the timing didn’t work in her favour.”
Another commented, “I am shocked to see people replying that it’s a good match in numerology. Shocked coz I had no idea that people even know all this.” The social media user referred to several remarks in which people said that the landlady missed a chance, claiming that 4 and 7 are a good pair of numbers.
A third posted, “Half the comment section says it's a good match, the other half says it's a bad match. Conclusion - nobody knows anything.” A fourth commented, “Mumbai is high on Numerology.”
