In the video, shared on Instagram by tenant Sonam Singh, she recounts the terrifying experience firsthand. “Bhai, is flat ka abhi rent hai ₹28,000 aur is flat ka price hai ₹1 crore, aur ye construction pe hume kya de rahe hai,” Singh says, expressing shock over the quality of construction despite the high rent and property value.
She describes the moment of the collapse: “Dekho guys, ye raat mai 2 baje humare sath hua hai. Achanak se hum apne room pe the, achanak se mujhe awaaz ayi hai ki kuch gira.” Showing the damaged balcony, she adds, “Jaisi balcony khole dekha ye itna sara concrete. Is cheez ka hum 28,000 de rahe hai.”
Singh demonstrates how brittle the concrete is by breaking pieces off with her hand, saying, “Isko mai apko hath se todh ke dikhati hu, concrete ko dekho, hath se hi toot jaa raha hai. Ye hai construction yaha ka.” She also warns about the potential danger, noting, “Agar mai yaha raat ko khadi hoti, meri adat hai balcony mai khade hone ki. Is this safe? Ye de rahe hai 1 crore mai?”
The video has sparked a heated discussion online, with many users expressing shock over the apparent poor construction in a flat valued at ₹1 crore. Some shared similar experiences, while others reacted with humor at the contrast between the high rent and the weak construction. Comments included jokes like “Mistry cement lagana bhul gya hai” and “1 crore k flat me. 10 rupee ka nimbu mirchi laga lo kirpa ani shuru hojayegi.”
Several users also highlighted the potential risk, with one writing, “Was very risky, man! God saved you,” while another noted, “Muskuraye, aap Greater Noida mai hai.”
The video, posted on April 8, 2026, has already garnered 13.6k views and more than 250 likes. HT.com has reached out to Singh for further details, and the report will be updated when she responds.
This incident has reignited discussions about construction standards and tenant safety in high-rent flats across the city, emphasizing the need for stricter oversight in residential construction.
