A woman's social media post seeking a vegetarian flatmate in Bengaluru has gone viral, with 1.5 million views. However, the post has aroused great debate. According to the post, X user Vanshita is looking for a female roommate to share her three-bedroom residence in Wilson Garden.

The room is offered for rent at ?17,000 per month and has features like a huge bed, AC, geyser, storage units, closet, and wall-mount desk. Vanshita has specified a deposit of ?70,000 and will be shifting into another room within the same flat.
The post sparked a tremendous online response, with numerous users giving their thoughts and ideas on the subject. While some have complimented Vanshita's attempts to locate a compatible flatmate, others have criticized her for being overly precise and discriminatory in her quest.
How did people on the internet react?
The discussion around the post emphasizes the difficulties of finding the proper flatmate in a crowded city like Bengaluru.
Comments poured in, with one user highlighting the absurdity of normalising alcohol and smoking but not food preferences. In reaction to the backlash, Vanshita emphasized that her desire for a vegetarian roommate arose from her discomfort with uncooked meat.
¡°It¡¯s about comfort and peace in the house. I don¡¯t mind any form of cooked food, but I am a vegetarian and hence can¡¯t stand the sight of raw meat," she wrote.
Here's what people wrote.
Bhai wese toh mere ghar pe bhi non veg allowed ni lekin smoking, alcohol bhi sath me allowed ni.

Everything is fine but what is discrimination like you can smoke and drink but can't eat non-veg?
