How Did Social Media React?
The video received several reactions from users who shared their views on the differences between homes in India and America.

Second user commented: "Technically india is more expensive than america in properties."
Third user commented: "Mumbai Juhu Bandra mein 5-6 crore mein 2 BHK aaraha hai."
