Actress Gautami Kapoor recently found herself at the centre of controversy after making a bold remark about modern parenting. During an interview, she revealed that she had once considered gifting her 16-year-old daughter a “sex-toy” for her birthday — a statement that sparked intense backlash and trolling online.
In the interview, Gautami Kapoor shared her perspective on parenting and female empowerment, stating that she wants her daughter to experience everything in life — including aspects many women are often deprived of, such as understanding and embracing their own pleasure. She expressed concern that numerous women go through life without ever truly experiencing the joys of their own bodies.
Gautami also mentioned that her daughter, who is now 19, appreciated her mother’s thought process and openness. The actress revealed that while she never actually went through with the unconventional gift, her daughter valued the intent and the honesty behind the conversation.
