Mumbai’s sky-high rent has once again become the talk of the town thanks to a viral video featuring two software engineers and their two-bedroom apartment in Parel. The video, shared by influencer Arya Kothari on Instagram, offers a candid glimpse into the realities of urban living in one of the country’s most expensive cities.

The house tour kicks off in the modest yet neatly designed living room. As the camera pans through the flat, viewers are shown the slightly larger master bedroom, a cosy second bedroom, and a window with an unexpected perk: a clear, mesmerising view of planes landing and taking off in the distance. The residents share that watching this aerial ballet is their favourite way to unwind after long days at work.

Check out the video below:

The residents, both software professionals, reveal that they shell out a staggering ₹1 lakh per month for their 700-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment. The rent also covers maintenance fees, a necessity in this bustling, centrally located neighbourhood known for its high-rises and proximity to major business hubs.
