A Zomato delivery boy's tour of his accommodation in Mumbai's slum area has touched several hearts online, so much so that a woman decided to pay three months' rent. Pranjoy Borgoyary, an aspiring singer, shared that he moved out of his home in the Northeast to work as a delivery driver in Mumbai. He also shared that he is a state-level football player, and now lives in a shared 'suffocating' accommodation in a slum.
In an Instagram reel, Pranjoy gave a tour of his humble accommodation, which he shared with another person. The room is accessible via an extremely narrow street, one so constricted that the Zomato delivery agent had to navigate sideways to get through. “It’s suffocating,” he said in the video.
At the street's end, a narrow iron staircase ascends to a tiny room, costing Pranjoy ₹ 500 monthly. The room's stained walls, clothes covering every inch, and a kitten perched in a corner, all underscore that in Mumbai, space is a precious commodity. A post shared by qb_07 (@qb__.
