Viral Video: What’s parenting in 2025 without a little controversy and an s*x toy discussion? A viral video featuring actress Gautami Kapoor, yes, the ‘sanskari’ wife of Ram Kapoor, casually talking about gifting her 16-year-old daughter a vibrator has left people speechless, confused, and very opinionated.
While some applauded the “bold mom energy,” others questioned if this was parenting or prepping for controversy. The viral video has sparked a fiery debate across timelines, dinner tables, and parenting groups.
Viral Video Sparks Debate Over Gautami Kapoor’s Parenting Choices
Modern parenting is evolving, often encouraging open and honest conversations between parents and children. However, a recent viral video has sparked widespread controversy and debate. Shared by NCMIndia Council For Men Affairs on X (formerly Twitter), the clip features Gautami Kapoor — self-introduced as the “sanskari” wife of actor Ram Kapoor — admitting she once considered gifting her sixteen-year-old daughter a s*x toy.
The statement shocked many viewers, given that India’s age of consent is legally set at 18. Online backlash quickly followed, with Gautami facing intense trolling over what many saw as an inappropriate parenting move.
In a later interview, she clarified that her daughter had actually turned nineteen at the time and appreciated the open, candid conversation. Still, the clip’s viral spread has reignited debates around parenting boundaries in modern India — with many questioning how far is too far when it comes to progressive parenting.
Is This Modern Parenting or Crossing Moral Boundaries Today?
Gautami Kapoor’s viral video has reignited the debate over what modern parenting should look like in today’s India. While some praise openness and transparency, others believe this approach crosses serious moral and legal lines.
A few months ago, actress Pooja Bedi faced similar backlash after discussing her daughter’s relationship publicly, which many found inappropriate. Critics argue that such bold parenting styles blur the line between awareness and overexposure, especially when minors are involved. In India, where traditional values still hold strong, such statements often invite controversy.
Gautami’s comments, though later clarified, have stirred strong reactions. The incident highlights the growing divide between modern parenting freedom and the boundaries that society still expects parents to follow.
Netizens Divided as Viral Clip Sparks Heated Online Debate
The viral video featuring Gautami Kapoor’s parenting revelation triggered a storm of intense online reactions and moral concerns. One user commented, “She thinks she is playing a smart move by doing this, but she is preparing for her worst future as a mom.” The comment reflected a strong disapproval, expressing that such parenting choices may backfire later in life.
Another viewer wrote, “Western culture is dominating our Indian Sanatan culture. This has to be stopped as soon as possible. Otherwise, the downfall of our Sanatan culture is certain.” The user voiced concern about losing traditional values and blamed modern influences.
A concerned parent posted, “This is so problematic. It’s one thing to provide sex education to your kids, but this is just insanely wrong.” The comment highlighted discomfort with the way the topic was introduced. On the other hand, someone responded, “What a ridiculous moral panic, can we talk about something else?” showing irritation over the growing outrage. Another user added, “Too much of Americanism!” summarising the discomfort some felt with shifting parenting norms.
This viral video underscores evolving parent-child dialogues in India and shows tensions between traditional values and modern openness.
