A video about a Bengaluru flat sparked a debate on house hunting. In the video, a content creator claimed that she was paying ₹30,000 for a single room in a 3BHK flat. She further shared a tour of her room, which featured a large window and an attached balcony.
“POV: you pay 30k for a room in Bangalore and it’s actually a steal,” the content creator who goes by Shivs on Instagram wrote while sharing a video of her accommodation.

The video opens with her saying, “I pay ₹30,000 for a room in a 3 BHK in Bengaluru and honestly it is kind of a steal. And, before you come at me, let me show you why.”
She then shows her beautifully decorated room, with a large window on one side and an attached balcony. As the clip progresses, she steps out onto the balcony to show the surrounding view.
What did social media say?
Opinions remained divided over the video, as some found the rent reasonable while others insisted she was paying far too much.
An individual revealed, “I pay ₹50,000 for a 2 BHK with a graveyard view.” Another posted, “Ok, I am jealous.”
A third commented, “People commenting it’s a lot, haven't tried house hunting recently or maybe are okay living in lanes that can feel shady at night (that they might not find shady, everyone’s level of shady is diff), or some catch like that. I have looked for houses for 3 months in Indiranagar, CV Raman nagar , Richmond Town, Halasuru, Cox Town, Cambridge road, some parts of Whitefield (extremely close to metro) and this is the standard rate for a good apartment in a ‘safe’ gated society. Safe is the keyword. Safe to men looks very different. I see the kinda lanes men find safe where I’d never step in at night for the life of me, forget living. So honestly, congratulations gurl.”
Arguing that he was paying more than necessary, one person expressed, “Overpriced as hell, nice view tho.” A fifth wrote, “You can get a 1bhk for that same kinda bedroom with a hall and kitchen by yourself.” The content creator responded, “Trust me, I have tried. Very Sh**ty 1 BHK here.”
