On Father's Day, Dubai-based Indian businessman Satish Sanpal gifted his one-year-old daughter a custom-built pink Rolls-Royce, complete with monogrammed seats and a personalized nameplate. While meant to celebrate fatherhood in grand style, the gesture left the internet divided. Critics called it excessive and tone-deaf, questioning the need for such luxury for a child too young to drive. Satish Sanpal's lavish Father's Day gift to his toddler daughter—a pink Rolls-Royce—has gone viral. Though meant as a heartfelt gesture, many netizens called it 'flashy,' 'tacky,' and impractical.

Given the flashy nature of Instagram post, a commentor wrote, "Another show off, we are not impressed sorry."While gifting luxury cars isn't unheard of in the world of billionaires and Instagram influencers, the gesture has sparked broader conversations around parenting, wealth display, and whether such ostentatious acts make meaningful memories or just a country like India, where millions of children grow up without basic amenities, such gestures inevitably invite scrutiny—especially when shared online with cinematic flair. While Sanpal might see it as a father's way of showing boundless love, the jury of the internet seems divided between awe and now, baby Isabella has a Rolls-Royce she can't drive, a designer wardrobe she'll outgrow in months, and a social media footprint most adults would envy. As for the rest of us? We're still debating whether this was a parenting flex or just another tone-deaf showcase in the age of viral opulence.
