The 3BHK flat is located in the popular HSR Layout area of Bengaluru and is being shared by Nimisha and Agrima.

“I promise we are cooler than your ex“
“Late-night dessert cravings? We satisfy them together“

Nimisha also mentioned that she likes hanging out, taking walkstogether, and discussing life, work, and other stuff in general. They don’t give much importance to cleanliness because they believe inbeing basic. They do not take too much pains to be too tidy that it makes the home strict.
A Fun and Relatable Approach

A user commented, “I wish I could move in with them,” and another said in a light-hearted vein, “Bangalore people are always busy searching for either a flat or a flatmate.” The rather funny post showcases a more frivolous aspect of flatmate hunting as most of them get tired of these very formalities and seek an amiable bond.
