A Bengaluru woman working at Rubrik, Ishita Chaudhary, shares a breakdown of her monthly expenses that totals about Rs 1 lakh. The post goes viral online after she lists categories including rent, groceries, shopping, travel, and entertainment.

According to the figures she publishes, rent is listed at Rs 21,000, alongside other spending items such as groceries and discretionary costs. She also details a shopping allocation of Rs 15,000, and includes additional categories that bring the overall figure to roughly Rs 1 lakh per month. The content is presented as a personal budgeting snapshot rather than a broader study.

Across the reports, the emphasis is on the same Instagram post and the same category-by-category totals. One headline highlights the overall Rs 1 lakh monthly figure while another focuses specifically on the rent amount of Rs 21,000, but both describe the same expense breakdown.
