Known as the “City of Dreams,” Mumbai attracts countless people aspiring to shape their future, but the city’s skyrocketing rental prices have made this dream an expensive reality for many. It’s not unusual for cramped apartments in Mumbai to demand rents that could easily secure sprawling homes in other metro cities and smaller towns across India.

A recent post on X by user Utkarsh Gupta (@PaneerMakkhani) left users scratching their heads. He shared a bizarre discovery in a luxury 2BHK apartment in Mumbai’s prestigious Pali Hill neighbourhood. The peculiar setup featured a washing machine installed above the toilet. The apartment’s steep rent of Rs 1.35 lakh per month, with a hefty Rs 4 lakh in security deposit, surprised users more.

Gupta poked fun at the high rental prices in Mumbai with the caption, “Only in Mumbai, you can front-load your washing machine while top loading your commode. At an affordable price of 1.35L per month!”

Take a look at the post:

X users expressed their amusement in the comments. One user wrote, “Pali hill mein sab kuch jayaz hai (Everything is fair in Pali hill.)” Another user commented, “This brilliant idea being already taken by the ever resourceful Builders All ready to be Launched.” A third user said, “Hahaha, Amchi Mumbai is unbeatable. Tenant can have a tumble bath too, instead of a Tub bath.”
