Gautami Kapoor Reacts To Backlash Over Gifting Daughter A  s** Toy 

Gautami Kapoor reveals how a casual parenting chat unexpectedly went viral months after her podcast.

The controversial podcast interview was recorded 4.5 months ago, making the backlash sudden and confusing for her.

Gautami clarified she was speaking about her bond with her daughter, not giving parenting advice to anyone.

She and husband Ram Kapoor believe in honest, open communication with their children—even if not everyone agrees.

Hurtful online comments left Gautami anxious, sleepless, and in a “kind of depressed state."

To protect her mental health, she stayed off Instagram for nearly a month.

Her daughter, Sia Kapoor, guided her to stay calm and not react impulsively to online outrage.

Gautami once considered gifting her daughter a s** toy at 16 to normalize talks about intimacy—sparking heated debate.
