Shivs, the Instagram personality who flaunts her ₹30,000 room, doesn’t just brag about the price – she opens the curtain on what makes it feel worth it. 30k a month, a balcony that looks out over the city, and a safe gated society. It’s a sweet spot for anyone who can’t afford a full apartment but still wants a slice of the city.
The video starts with a quick flash of a large window and a balcony that’s oddly Instagram‑worthy. Shivs steps outside, her hand on the railing, and says, “Look at this view, and trust me, it’s a steal.” She doesn’t stop there; she throws in a quick tour of the room, pointing out the space’s layout and how it feels roomy despite the price tag.
Comments roll in fast, and the debate is real. One user claims they pay ₹50,000 for a 2‑BHK with a “graveyard view,” while another says they’re jealous. A more seasoned renter chimes in, noting they’ve scoured Indiranagar, CV Raman Nagar, Richmond Town, Halasuru, Cox Town, Cambridge Road, and even Whitefield for three months, only to find the 30k room is the standard rate for a “safe” apartment. “Safety is the keyword,” they add, stressing that what feels safe to one might feel shady to another.
Not everyone buys the hype. A few readers point out that ₹30,000 is overpriced for a simple room, and a couple suggest looking for a 1‑BHK instead. Shivs counters that she’s tried that route and found the 1‑BHK options “very shitty.” The point? The market is uneven, and what feels like a bargain to one might be a stretch for another.
So how do you know if a room is a steal? Start by looking at what you’re getting for the price: a balcony, a large window, a safe neighbourhood, and a decent layout. Compare those features to other listings in the same zip code. Check the price per square foot – a quick calculator can show you if the 30k is in line with the market. And don’t forget to factor in safety, which is often the biggest variable in Bangalore’s rental scene.
If you feel the price is right for you, scope out the neighbourhood on a weekend, talk to locals about the safety, and ask the landlord about the building’s amenities. If it feels like a good fit, that’s your sign to move forward. If not, keep looking – especially for that one 1‑BHK that might still fit your budget.
Bottom line: a ₹30,000 room in a 3‑BHK can be a steal if it offers good space, a balcony view, and safety. Use the price as a starting point, but always weigh the extras before signing the lease.
