Gurgaon woman rejected during house hunt for having a serious boyfriend. Netizens left stunned by unusual questions
The woman shared her story on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where she posted a screenshot of her conversation with a potential renter. The interaction started routinely but quickly took an unexpected turn.
The Unusual Query
In the screenshot, the renter initially asked the woman if she had “a date.” Assuming it referred to her potential move-in timeline, she replied, “I can either shift in the last week of December or the first week of January.” However, the renter clarified they were inquiring about her romantic life, specifically if she had a boyfriend.
When the woman affirmed that she did and that her boyfriend also lived in Gurgaon, the renter followed up with an even stranger question: “A serious one?” Upon learning that her relationship was indeed serious, the renter stated that they preferred casual relationships and were seeking a flatmate with similar preferences.
Online Reaction
Confused and amused by the encounter, the woman shared the screenshot with the caption, “House hunting in Gurgaon is wild.” The post quickly went viral, eliciting a mix of shock, laughter, and disbelief from netizens.
One user humorously remarked, “Haunted houses are far better,” while another questioned, “Kya kya horha hai duniya mein?” Many were baffled by how a flatmate’s relationship status could influence a rental decision, with one commenter summarizing the sentiment: “This is absurd. Why should it matter?”
