‘AC runs 24x7, 50-70% salary goes into loan’: Noida man questions metro life, says Rs 25,000 in village and Rs 1 lakh in city ‘is equal’

A Noida resident’s viral video comparing luxury apartment living with village life has triggered a massive online debate. Despite showing premium amenities like swimming pools, clubhouses and sports courts, he argued that city high-rises often come with stress, poor ventilation, pollution and financial pressure. His statement that “₹25,000 in a village equals ₹1 lakh in a city” resonated with many online, while others said his complaints came from a place of privilege.
