Renting in Mumbai’s Most Maligned Location – Bhiwandi | The Tenant


Meet Sunny Kesarwani, a finance professional who lives in Bhiwandi, Mumbai’s most infamous suburb — but is it really as bad as people say? In this candid look at city life, Sunny shares what it’s like living with his family in a 3BHK flat that costs ₹14,000 a month, while working in Goregaon — a two-and-a-half-hour commute away. From terrible roads and traffic jams to unbeatable rent prices and better lifestyle balance, Sunny reveals both sides of Bhiwandi. He also talks about how perception affects marriages, safety myths, and why some builders now brand Bhiwandi as “Upper Thane.”
