A man from Noida has shared a shocking video online, showing the poor construction quality of his newly built house that reportedly cost him around ₹1.5 crore. The video, posted by content creator Kabeer, quickly went viral on Instagram, sparking outrage and debate over the quality of construction in modern housing projects.
In the clip, Kabeer warns others to stay alert when building or buying a house. He says that people should regularly check how the construction is being done, otherwise they might face the same problem he did. “Whenever you’re getting your house built, make sure to always keep an eye on how they’re building it. Otherwise, this is what you’ll get,” he wrote in his caption.

The video shows Kabeer pointing at several small holes in the wall of his new home. To prove how weak the wall is, he uses a simple pencil test. He places a pencil against the wall and lightly taps it with a hammer, and to everyone’s surprise, the pencil goes straight through the wall. The clip also shows two to three pencils stuck inside the wall, clearly demonstrating how soft the surface is. “These holes were made with a pencil, the kind that kids use in school,” he says in disbelief.
The video, titled “Reality behind a ₹1.5 crore house, can you guess which society this is in Noida?”, has gained huge attention. Many social media users expressed shock and concern over how unsafe the house looked. One user commented, “It is not even safe to live in this house.”
However, others offered explanations, saying that not all walls in a house are meant to be solid. One person explained that homes often have load-bearing walls and partition walls, and the weaker ones are not meant to carry weight.
Another user pointed out that the walls in Kabeer’s house appeared to be made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), a lightweight and eco-friendly material used in modern construction. While the video left many questioning the quality standards of high-priced real estate, others used it as a reminder to stay informed about construction materials and processes before investing large amounts of money in a property.
