Celebrities think rules don't apply to them. In India, even auto rickshaw drivers insist on helmets for kids. Safety isn't optional just because you're rich and famous!

At least she accepted her mistake gracefully. Many celebs would get defensive. But seriously, basic parenting 101 - life jackets near water! 😊

In India we have so many drowning incidents during monsoon season. This is a good reminder for all parents about water safety, whether you're in Mumbai or Malibu.

Western parenting vs Indian parenting - we would never take such risks with our kids! Our culture teaches us to be extra cautious with children's safety.

I appreciate that she used this as a teaching moment. Maybe Indian parenting influencers can also make more content about water safety for our monsoon season.
