Gautami Kapoor recently shared a candid anecdote about the unique gift she considered for her daughter, Sia, on her 16th birthday, sparking a conversation about motherhood, societal expectations, and a daughter's coming-of-age. Her reflections, filled with endearing honesty, offer a glimpse into a mother's desire to empower her child with experiences rather than material possessions.
Recounting her thought process, Kapoor revealed to Hauterrfly, "When my daughter turned 16 I had to gift her something. What do I give? What do I gift her? I was thinking and I was. I was thinking that should I give her a s*x toy? Should I gift her a vibrator? Should I gift her something?" This internal monologue captures the universal parental dilemma of finding the perfect milestone present. However, Kapoor's subsequent thoughts took a decidedly unconventional turn.
Sharing her idea with Sia, Kapoor quoted her daughter's surprised reaction: "Siya, this is what I'm thinking? She was like Mom, have you lost it? Are you retarded like you? Are you crazy?" This humorous exchange highlights the unexpected nature of Kapoor's potential gift – something that would allow her daughter to "experiment" and experience life fully, in contrast to the more traditional or materialistic gifts often associated with teenage milestones.
Kapoor elaborated on her reasoning, stating, "And I said. Siya, think about it? How many mothers will come to their daughters and say. You know what? Why don't I give you something? And why don't you experiment? You I mean, what my mom didn't do with me. I don't want to do that, not do that not do that with my daughter. Right. I want her to experience everything and a lot of women go through life without experiencing the pleasures of it. So why be in that situation?" This reveals a deep-seated desire to break from past limitations and empower her daughter with a broader range of life experiences.
Reflecting on Siya's current perspective, Kapoor shared, "And today I think my daughter is 19 and she appreciates the fact that at least I had that thought and she respects me for that. So that's amazing. I think that's wonderful." This suggests that while the initial suggestion might have been met with teenage incredulity, the underlying intention of openness and empowerment resonated with Sia over time.
Acknowledging the potentially controversial nature of her revelation, Kapoor concluded with a lighthearted caveat: "I think I might get trolled for this."
