Russian Influencer’s ₹1.2 Lakh Rent for Gurugram 1BHK Draws Scrutiny Over ‘Basic’ Expenses

Her self-reported figures revived questions about baseline costs versus discretionary choices in upscale Gurugram.

Overview

  • Kovan’s video lists monthly outlays that include ₹1,20,000 rent for a 1BHK, ₹1,000 per Uber Black ride, ₹15,000 for electricity, ₹40,000 for groceries, ₹30,000 for shopping, and ₹20,000 for medicines.
  • She told commenters the numbers were accurate and clarified that she lives in a one-bedroom unit.
  • Viewers challenged calling the spending “basic,” suggesting cheaper transport or lower rent and questioning charges such as a ₹15,000 power bill.
  • Kovan responded that she was “just giving facts,” said she was not complaining, and rejected advice to reduce her expenses.
  • Media reports emphasize the claims are unverified and describe how the viral post has fed a broader conversation about costs in Gurugram’s premium areas frequented by expats and young professionals.
