An Indian Reel creator has grabbed the internet’s attention after posting a video featuring a Delhi’s Karol Bagh man who pays nearly ₹5 lakh as monthly rent for a Burj Khalifa facing apartment in Dubai.
The clip, shared on Instagram by a user named @shenaztreasury, shows a casual yet eye catching conversation between the creator Shenaz and a Dubai resident, Prabh Singh.
A casual question turns into a luxury house tour
The video begins with Shenaz striking up a simple conversation. She asks, “Hi, do you live in Dubai?” to which Singh replies, “Yes.” Curious about the cost of living, she follows up with, “How much rent do you pay in Dubai? I just want to know.” Singh responds, “18,000 AED, that is ₹5 lakh.”
Intrigued, Shenaz then asks, “Can I see your house? I just want to see what you get in 5 lakhs.” The two head to the apartment, setting the tone for what quickly turns into a detailed house tour.
Inside the Burj facing apartment
As they enter, Shenaz appears surprised to see the door open and remarks, “Oh, your door is open?” Singh calmly explains, “It’s always open. You don’t lock things in Dubai. It’s normal. No one can enter your house.”

The highlight, however, comes when they step out onto the balcony. “You can see Burj Khalifa from your balcony. What? This is so cool. I can see the Dubai Frame from here,” she says, visibly impressed.
Singh also shows her the bedroom and later points out the building’s amenities, including a gym, swimming pool and a restaurant.
The clip ends on a light hearted note as Shenaz jokes, “Habibi I want to move to Dubai,” prompting laughter from both.
