A Russian traveller’s clip has taken over desis on social media and all it took was one stunning night-time video of Gurgaon. In the clip, traveller Viktoriia Kovan can be seen showing off a view of the city’s skyline and the Internet’s reaction to the dazzling scene is pure gold. The video opens with modern skyscrapers, wide highways glowing under streetlights, and glass towers that stretch into the dark sky. The camera pans smoothly across the high rise clusters and just when you think it’s Dubai, a bold text flashes on the screen, “It is not Dubai, It is Gurgaon, India.” It also features some glimpses of wide lanes, yummy looking meals and lavish lifestyle that people enjoy. Viktoriia, who seems to have fallen in love with the city, captioned her post simply, “My favourite city in India.” And her excitement and admiration are clearly visible in every frame, perfectly capturing how far Gurgaon has come and is growing rapidly.

People couldn’t stop gushing about the transformation of Gurgaon which is now popular for its modern architecture, luxury apartments, and corporate culture. One of the users said that they never expected a foreign traveller to appreciate Gurgaon like this. They wrote, “Never thought a foreigner would say this about Gurgaon. Feeling proud!” Another added, “Finally, someone is showing the good side of India to the world.” The comment section was flooded with positive comments for Gurgaon with many even comparing it to other global cities. “Looks like a scene straight out of Singapore,” one user said. Another chimed in, “I’ve lived in Dubai — and trust me, Gurgaon is growing faster than people realise.” A few others also dropped lighter comments like “2 drops rain and you’re in Venice’ and “Come in Monsoon.” Someone jokingly asked to show the buildings’ back side. Gurgaon’s Rapid Growth The video is not just about pretty lights, it’s about how India’s cities are evolving and gaining global recognition. Gurgaon, especially which was seen as just another NCR suburb, now stands tall with its world-class skyline and flourishing nightlife. Summing up the growth, one user added, “If the infrastructure keeps improving like this, Gurgaon will soon be a world-class city.” Next time you see a skyline that looks like Dubai, make sure to double-check as it could be Gurgaon!
