Mumbai’s real estate market has long been notorious for its sky-high prices and shrinking living spaces, but a recent property tour has left social media users in disbelief. A video showcasing a cramped apartment priced at a staggering ₹1.2 crore has gone viral, not just for its cost, but for a bizarre layout that places the bathroom directly opposite the kitchen’s cooking area.
Instagram user Jayantika shared the video and wrote, “Mumbai real estate feels like a massive social experiment at this point.”

The video opens with a text insert which reads, “Mumbai real estate and it is ₹1.2 crore.” Jayantika then starts showing the apartment, starting with a well-decorated but small drawing room. She confesses that initially she mistook it for a lobby.
“You have a kitchen like this and jahan pe apka chulha ayega uske this samne there is a sandaas [The toilet is just opposite to the cooking area],” she says as she goes on to show the bizarre layout of the apartment. She then shows the tiny bedroom with a bed and limited space.
She continues, “Mumbai may kuch bhi chal raha hai,” and concludes her video.

A third joked, “Toilet seat pe baith ke ubalte hue doodh pe nazar rakhne ka convenience de rakha hai [They have given people the convenience of keeping an eye on boiling milk while sitting inside the toilet].” A fourth wrote, “People will still buy the flat for the price. This gives the builder the complacency to build such a flat.”
