(Photo Credit: Facebook)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Located in the centre of Mumbai, Dharavi is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. It is home to over a million people within just a few square miles. Amid these compact spaces, one woman\u2019s story is now winning hearts online.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">During his visit to Mumbai, American YouTuber Drew Binsky met Divya, a resident of Dharavi, who invited him to visit her home. She offered the YouTuber a quick tour, conversing in impressively fluent English.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>A Look Inside A Dharavi\u2019s House<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The video begins with Drew introducing the visit by saying, \u201cI\u2019m in Dharavi, Mumbai, where over a million people live within one square mile, and Divya is going to give us a tour of her house.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Divya starts the tour by showing her kitchen, where a fridge and TV are placed side by side. She then moves to another section that includes the traditional squatting-style toilet, which is blue in colour. She also shows a washing machine and an air conditioner, all arranged within the limited space of the home. Divya also takes him to the small loft area above, where one person can sleep comfortably.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">When Drew asks how she feels living in such a small house, Divya smiles and says, \u201cYour heart has to be big.&#8221; She adds, \u201cThe house is small, but we are happy. We live with the family, eat together, sleep together \u2014 everything is together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">At the end of the video, Drew asks Divya what message she would like to share with the world. Her answer is short but meaningful: \u201cBe happy. Love yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Watch The Clip Here<\/p>\n<p><iframe frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Nw18 Iframe\" class=\"lazyload\" allowfullscreen=\"\" id=\"iframe-0\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1135220851480010%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"476\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><strong>What People Said After Watching The Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">The clip has drawn widespread appreciation for Divya\u2019s attitude towards life. Many viewers expressed how her words made them think about being grateful and finding happiness in simple things.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">A user commented, \u201cWherever life has placed you, be thankful and bloom with grace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">Another added, \u201c\u2018Your heart have to be big, that\u2019s it\u2019 \u2014 Those words!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Someone else shared, \u201cWow respect to her. After seeing this, I realised that you should be grateful for whatever you are blessed with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">\u201cThey do not compare or compete with anyone. They appreciate what matters. Hence, the reason for their happiness. Some of us live in mansions, yet we are depressed etc.,&#8221; a person said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">\u201cLots to learn from that smiling face. Though struggling to meet the fortune, but striving hard for that day,&#8221; an individual wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\">A user observed, \u201cShe\u2019s very organised. She has a small home but very organised and tidy \u2014 the clothes folded neatly on the cabinet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\"><strong>The Larger Picture Of Dharavi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\">While Dharavi is described as one of Asia\u2019s largest slums, it is also a major centre for small-scale industries that keep a large part of Mumbai\u2019s informal economy running. The area is known for its leather goods, pottery, textiles and a well-established recycling network that employs thousands.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Buzz Staff\" title=\"Buzz Staff\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/buzz-staff-17233.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Buzz Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture.<!-- --> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2967201087 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2967201087 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 28, 2025, 13:36 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2967201087 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/viral\/\">viral<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Dharavi Slum \u2018Guide\u2019 Gives Tour Of Her \u2018Matchbox\u2019 House In Fluent English: \u2018AC, Fridge &amp; Gas Cylinder All Here\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
