From ₹3,500 rent in a shared 1BHK to ₹90,000 sea-view flat in 4 years: Man's 'life in Mumbai' story goes viral. Watch

A Mumbai-based content creator has gone viral after sharing how his life changed in just four years in the city. In a video posted on Instagram, Anuj Gawande said he once lived with four others in a shared 1BHK flat where his rent share was only ₹3,500. Today, he claims to be living in a rented apartment worth ₹90,000 a month with a sea-facing view in Mumbai.

The clip quickly caught attention online, with many users calling it “Mumbai motivation,” while others pointed out that surviving in the city is not equally easy for everyone.
