A Gurgaon woman spoke about feeling stuck in office life, household chores and endless routine.

The video was shared on Instagram by Jaysika Malhotra, who expressed her frustration over the lack of personal time despite having a full time job.
Woman questions work life balance
In the video, Malhotra says, "It's just: come to the office, go home from the office, and sleep. And a week off, one doesn't even know where it goes; it all just goes into washing clothes, washing my face, washing my bedsheets, just all this. And salary, the salary gets debited before it even arrives. Who said that if you do a job, you will live in luxury? Nothing is happening in the name of luxury; I can't even go on a trip, nothing is happening. What should I do?"
The clip was shared with a caption that reads, “What kind of life has this become, man?"
