Flat hunting or house hunting in metro cities like Delhi-NCR can be a challenge, but one woman's unusual experience while house hunting took the storm on social media. A bizarre exchange during her search for rental accommodation sparked controversies online about societal norms and personal privacy.
Renter asks the woman about her romantic life
The Bengaluru-based woman, Shivangi Shah, who was looking for a house in Gurgaon, shared her unusual experience about house hunting on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. In the post, she posted a screenshot of a conversation with a potential renter. The chat started routinely but quickly took a twist.
In the chat, the potential renter asked the woman if she had a 'date'. Thinking the question referred to her moving date, she replied, ''I can shift either in the last week of December or the first week of January.''

The renter explained she was asking about her romantic life, especially, if she had a boyfriend. ''Yes, I do'', he's actually based out of Gurgaon'', she replied. Then, the renter asked if her relationship was ''serious''. When the shah said it was, the renter stated she preferred hookups and wanted a flatmate who shared that preference.
This conversation happened through a Facebook page called Flat and Flatmates (Gurgaon), and a screenshot of it went viral after the woman shared it on social media. She captioned the post,'' House hunting in Gurgaon is wild''.
