(Instagram\/@gautamikapoor)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">TV actress Gautami Kapoor has stirred controversy after revealing in a recent interview that she had considered gifting a sex toy to her daughter, Sia, on her 16th birthday. The remark, made in a candid conversation, has since gone viral, drawing sharp criticism and triggering a wave of trolling on social media.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Gautami explained in the interview that she was pondering over what gift to give her daughter when she turned 16. She considered options including a sex toy or a vibrator.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">When Gautami broached the subject with Sia, her daughter initially laughed and responded, \u201cMother, have you gone mad?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Gautami defended her idea, saying, \u201cI immediately told her, how many mothers talk to their daughters about such things? I wanted my daughter to know and understand sexual matters, unlike my own upbringing. I want Siya to be informed and experienced so she doesn\u2019t face any problems in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Presently, Gautami\u2019s daughter is 19 years old, and she also has a son. Gautami noted that her daughter now appreciates the open conversation about sexual education, something most mothers shy away from.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Since Gautami\u2019s revelation, social media has been flooded with a variety of comments, many of which are critical. One user commented, \u201c16 years is a very young age for this. A 21st birthday would have been more appropriate.&#8221; Another user criticised the idea, suggesting there should be laws governing parenting. <\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">The backlash included comments stating that even contemplating such a gift for a 16-year-old is absurd and not in line with Western thoughts, and some argued it reflects a lack of proper education.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Mayank Barmi, an expert in marriage law, pointed out that Gautami\u2019s idea is not valid under Indian law, where the age of consent for girls is 18 years. <\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Other users expressed that Bollywood figures only focus on topics like sex, lust, and drugs, neglecting character building. Critics also questioned why Gautami considered gifting a vibrator rather than focusing on educational or societal contributions. Some sarcastically suggested that such parenting methods could make parenting easier by bypassing traditional explanations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">The uproar over Gautami\u2019s statement continues, with some users even calling for her to be sent to a mental asylum, accusing her of spreading harmful ideas.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-4250878299 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-4250878299 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/entertainment\/\">entertainment<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Hindi TV Actress Says She Wanted To Gift Daughter A Sex Toy On Her 16th Birthday, Gets Trolled<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
