A frustrated woman from Bengaluru has sparked a fresh debate on the city’s rising cost of living after posting a candid video on Instagram about everyday expenses. In the now-viral clip, she questioned why spending Rs 500 in Bengaluru feels insignificant, whether stepping out of the house or staying in. Captioned, “Bangalore doesn’t take your breath away; it just takes your 10% annual increment,” her post quickly resonated with thousands of social media users.
