If you know anything about Mumbai, you know that the real estate here is absolutely bonkers. There is hardly any space in the city and matchbox-sized apartments end up costing an arm and a leg. Recently, a video that demonstrated the sorry predicament of Mumbai real estate went viral. A house tour video of an extremely compact apartment with two tiny bedrooms went viral. The minuscule Mumbai apartment cost ₹75 lakhs and Netizens had some nice comments.
Video Of Tiny Mumbai Apartment Worth ₹75 Lakhs Goes Viral
2BHK of a meager 323 sqft. Only in Mumbai.
Yet this is not the smallest. A project by Xrbia at Ghatkopar had a 2BHK in 295sqftThat’s why I say “If you can’t sell a home in Mumbai, you can’t sell a home anywhere in the world.” pic.twitter.com/inwjL76jq3

Finding housing in Mumbai is truly a nightmare. Recently, a video went viral X (formerly known as Twitter) which showed a woman showing around a teeny tiny apartment. In the name of “dining space” it merely offered a dining table which folded into the wall.
Can easily shave off a few dozen sqm.
Can keep the commode directly under the shower – waste of space there. No need for any walking area in the bedroom too. Rookie builder

It also had two extremely tiny “master bedrooms” the bathrooms of which had barely enough space for a commode. The kitchen, too, was very small but was advertised as a fancy “L-shaped kitchen.”
Where do you shower? Genuine question.

If all of this wasn’t enough to set you seething, wait till you hear the price tag. This matchbox-sized apartment costs a whopping ₹75 lakhs! And on top of that, the lady, at the beginning of the video, says that the apartment is great if you want a 2 BHK but are on a budget of 1 BHK!
Virar tikkh hai sir fir 😂

Netizens React To The Video With Sarcasm And Scathing Remarks
2BHK flat in a 323 sq ft area. 323 sq ft is less than even one-half of a badminton court. This is for 75 lakh. Don’t miss the washrooms and try to find the bathing space in them. pic.twitter.com/3ZdOH6tyzA

Needless to say, Netizens jumped at the opportunity to poke fun at the video. Many people were especially perplexed about the bathroom situation as it seemed that there was only enough space for the commode to fit in. Many asked where a person would shower.
Sir I saw a Balti there.. maybe uske andar baith ke ..

Others poked fun by saying that the builder could have still shaved off a few square feet by removing space around the bed in the bedroom. Take a look at the funniest reactions!
Too much space….

3 saal baad same carpet area me 4bhk bhi banega. Train ke sleeper coach ki tarah beds deewar par fix honge. Sone ke liye neeche karo. Nahana hai to oopar karke usi room ko attached washroom me convert kar lo.
