Karuna Tata

Living in rented apartments is a hassle nowadays due to the ever-increasing rents and lack of flatmates. To share the rent, the best option is to find a trusted flatmate. But we all know that finding a proper flatmate to divide the rent with is not an easy task. Another problem that most people face is finding a replacement before moving out of the flat because you may not get your deposit back until you find one.

An incident garnered attention recently when a Bengaluru woman chose a unique and innovative method to solve the issue.

The Bengaluru woman, Karuna Tata, 22, opened profiles of her room on popular dating apps Tinder and Hinge

She opened the profiles stating that the room is currently looking for a “match”. Karuna is a technical writer who named the room ‘kholi number 420’ (a name influenced by the famous song from the 1977 film Amar Akbar Antony) on Hinge and Tinder.

In the profile, she specified that it is part of a 3BHK apartment in Bengaluru’s Singasandra. In the bio of the profile she wrote that the room is a “queen of aesthetics” and that it’s looking for a long-term partner. Tata shared details of the “dating” profiles of her room on X. Her post on social media reads,

“Is this a startup idea or a peak Bengaluru moment in desparate times? Anyways meet kholi number 420 who’s on tinder to get matched with potential flatmates to replace me. @Tinder_India please make this happen”

While interacting with an X user who responded to her post, Tata said that she had to resort to this method after failing to secure a flatmate through conventional means. She wrote,

Some X users were amused by Tata’s ‘kholi number 420’. Look at some of their reactions:

One X user wrote,

“The other day, my friend screen recorded and sent me the video of a girl’s profile who was legit on Bumble only to get help on her project and used all her prompts to explain her project and the help she needs”

To this, Tata replied,

“It’s tough tch tch, no one understands. Dating is not a problem anymore that needs to be solved through these apps.”
