The video has since gone viral on social media, garnering numerous views, likes, and a wide range of reactions. However, a majority of users appeared to be “judging her so hard.”One user wrote, “True Bangaloreans will never buy an AC. We wait for the rains, haha.” Another commented, “As a Bangalorean, buying an AC feels illegal.” A third remarked, “And global warming, lol.”Another user pointed out, “Bangalore’s green cover went from 78% to 6%. It’s not the city’s fault, it’s overcrowding. Hold the government and illegal construction accountable.”One more user critically noted, “It isn’t Bengaluru’s fault. People are overcrowding the city, building huge apartments and workspaces with a lot of concrete, while cutting down trees and drying up lakes to accommodate growing needs. The problem is the people, not the city. The city can recover in a year or two if the population reduces, more trees are planted, and the use of heat-generating materials is controlled. The city isn’t betraying the people, it’s the other way around. Homes in places like Jayanagar and interior parts of JP Nagar and Basavanagudi are still cool. Why? Trees!”
