Northeast’s Pranjoy Borgoyary, a Zomato delivery agent in Mumbai, shared a video on Instagram featuring the tiny room he shares with another person for just Rs 500 per month. Borgoyary calls himself a “struggling artist” in the caption of his video, which has now gone viral, amassing over 4.5 million views.
However, ironically, the main highlight of the video is Borgoyary's optimism as he joyfully cares for a kitten and delivers for Zomato across Mumbai despite facing harsh realities.
Borgoyary is an aspiring singer and footballer who regularly shares music covers online.

One user wrote, “Iss sab ke bawajood you are sheltering a chotu kitty, you have a golden heart. Yahan pe logo ke pass bangle hai aur street animals ko dana nahi de sakti”
Another user commented, “M to bhagwan se prathna karti hu 🙏aap yaha se jaldi kisi achi jagah nikal jaao isme aap kaise rahte ho bht dificult hai isme rahna kaise so pate honge aap kitna struggle kar rahe ho Dil bhar aaya dekh kar bus prathna hai aap ka struggle jaldi khatam ho aur aap aage badho “
A third user replied, “You should be proud of yourself for taking care of yourself on your own in this city. It's not easy and you are doing it. Salute to you 🙏”
Touched by the video, a user named, Khushi, paid ₹1,500 for Borgoyary's three months' rent. She said the Zomato agent never asked for help, and she offered it on her own.
“It genuinely broke my heart when I saw that video directly from Dharavi slum,” Khushi told HT.com. “When I saw that he is a Zomato boy pursuing his music career in Mumbai, it looks like a big shift. He moved there to fulfill a dream. So I just wanted to share some money to ensure he doesn’t have to worry about rent”, Khushi clarified.
