Last Updated: A Mumbai-based advocate's post has led to a discussion about how much a cook charges in major Indian cities. A Mumbai-based lawyer's tweet about how much part-time cook charges monthly sparked a debate on X (formerly Twitter). Ayushi Doshi, an advocate, wrote that her cook (also known as Maharaj) charges Rs 18,000 per household for 30 minutes of work. The advocate said that the cook worked daily in 10-12 households. In her post, Doshi also claimed that her cook got free breakfast and tea everywhere. 'Gets paid on time or leaves without a goodbye," Doshi said while talking about her Maharaj. 'Meanwhile I'm out here saying 'gentle reminder" with trembling hands with minimum salary," she added. Post Sparks Debate The remarks stirred up a fierce debate on X. A person claimed that the cook's salary was exaggerated. '18k for part time cook is exaggerated Its 4-6 k even in gurgaon," they wrote. 18k for part time cook is exaggerated Its 4-6 k even in gurgaon— KARTIK CHAUDHARY (@kartik_chau) July 30, 2025 Many were stunned to know that the cook only took 30 minutes for his job. 'Can agree on 18k .. but 30 mins? What does he cook in 30 mins? Paratha and sabzi from scratch take 45 mins atleast," a user wrote. One account claimed that the advocate was either 'extremely gullible to pay 18k for someone who invests 30 mins in your food or this cook must be a mix of a cook , a dietician a nutritionist and barry allen." You have to be extremely gullible to pay 18k for someone who invests 30 mins in your food or this cook must be a mix of a cook , a dietician a nutritionist and barry allen.— Prashu (@oye_prashur27) July 30, 2025 Many were eager to find out how the cook could work in 10-12 households daily. 'If he can cook full meals in 30 minutes flat, forget Maharaj—call him Jadugar. I just want to know what black magic he's using to finish 12 houses a day." If he can cook full meals in 30 minutes flat, forget Maharaj—call him Jadugar. I just want to know what black magic he's using to finish 12 houses a day.— e…. (@sagarmahla) July 30, 2025 Many claimed that the advocate was making things up. 'Nice clickbait. But no cook can make food in 30 mins," a comment read. Nice clickbait. But no cook can make food in 30 mins. No Indian person would pay 18k charges and let the cook run away in half an hour. For 18k they would ask for an army and a leg. Just accept, you read a nice fiction story and then decided to be a writer on X.— Instant Info (@InstantInfo07) July 31, 2025 What Advocate Later Said Doshi later claimed that her story was not 'engagement farming" but her experience of living in one of the costliest cities of India. She added that the amount she stated was what good Maharajs charge in decent localities. 'The same cook charges ₹2.5k a day for a family of 12 isn't overcharging, it's just how things work here," Doshi said. Mumbai folks, back me up ! this is what good Maharajs charge in decent localities. The same cook charges ₹2.5k a day for a family of 12 isn't overcharging, it's just how things work your state still runs on ₹5 thalis, that's great for you , but don't assume everyone…— Adv. Ayushi Doshi (@AyushiiDoshiii) July 30, 2025 The post has led to a discussion on the high cost of living in Mumbai and the amount charged for services like cooking. With long working hours, hectic lifestyles and focus on healthy diets, the demand for cooks and other professionals has gone up in many cities, leading to higher charges in many localities.
