An Indian woman has taken to social media to offer her services as a "rental girlfriend," sparking both curiosity and concern among online users.
Divya Giri, who runs the Instagram page @divya_giri__, posted a reel where she proposed her services, outlining a "rate chart" for various types of dates, ranging from a "Chill Coffee Date" for Rs. 1500 to a "Public Post About Our Date" for Rs. 6000.
While some users joked about the concept, referencing Japan's well-known rental girlfriend services, others suspected it to be a scam. "This is a honey trap. Be cautious, and don't fall for it," warned one user.

The concept of rental relationships, popular in Japan, involves hiring someone to pose as a partner for a set period. However, its rarity in India has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the legitimacy of such services.
As the reel spread across platforms, online users expressed mixed reactions. Some saw it as a unique entrepreneurial venture, while others believed it was a ploy to exploit vulnerable individuals.
Giri's proposal has sparked a debate about the boundaries of relationships and the commodification of emotions. While some argue it's a harmless service, others worry about the potential risks and consequences.
