Sonam Kapoor Slams 'Backwards' Parenting Culture
6 May
Summary
- Babies are meant to find comfort in their mothers, not silicone.
- Modern parenting culture wrongly separates mothers and babies.
- Sonam Kapoor welcomed her second son in March 2026.
Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor recently shared poignant insights on maternal bonding and breastfeeding, directed at new mothers. As a new mom herself, Kapoor welcomed her second son on March 29, 2026, expanding her family with husband Anand Ahuja.
Kapoor's message challenges contemporary parenting norms, asserting that babies are instinctively programmed to seek comfort from their mothers. She highlighted a societal tendency to separate mothers and infants, which subsequently leads to criticism of a baby's natural need for maternal closeness.
The actress, who married Ahuja in 2018, welcomed their first child, Vayu, in August 2022. She expressed joy over her second son's arrival, noting Vayu's delight in welcoming his younger brother, which has filled their home with happiness.
