Urdu translation:بیٹھنے کا کمرہ ، گول کمرہ
Explanation:
In olden days it was referred to as 'گول کمرہ'. You can find this term in old novels or other writings but it is not very commonly used these days. The word 'بیٹھک' or 'ڈرائنگ روم' is the room where mostly the guests are served and is not used as a 'common' or 'living' room.
