💗 Baby’s Pink Rolls-Royce Goes Viral: Lavish Gift from Indian Businessman Stirs Online Reactions
Indian businessman gifts custom pink Rolls Royce to one year old daughter, viral video sparks criticism: ‘Extremely shallow’
Dubai-based Indian entrepreneur Satish Sanpal has found himself in the spotlight after gifting his 1-year-old daughter, Isabella , a custom-made *pink Rolls-Royce*. Yes, you read that right a luxury car, for a toddler who’s barely learned to walk . While some called it a sweet display of love, others were quick to call it out as over-the-top .
Sanpal , who runs the real estate company ANAX Developments is no stranger to luxury. But this gift really caught attention. A professionally shot video shows little Isabella being surprised in a Dubai showroom decked out in pink balloons and party décor. Dressed in a frilly pink dress, the toddler is seen surrounded by family as she’s handed the symbolic keys to her “first car.”
The car itself is no less extravagant than the event—custom-built in the UK , flown to the UAE , and fitted with pink leather interiors, personalized embroidery with Isabella’s initials, and even a plaque that reads, “Congratulations Isabella.”
🎀 Did This Dubai Dad Go Too Far ?
The reveal video was first posted by Lovin Dubai , an Instagram account known for highlighting all things lavish in the UAE . The caption proudly read, “ Satish Sanpal just won Father’s Day.” But while some cheered, others weren’t so impressed.
One viral tweet summed it up with, “This is the perfect example of when you don’t know what to do with your money .” Another person wrote, “Small kids are the happiest with empty boxes, not luxury sedans.”
Critics pointed out that while it’s fine to love your children, buying a six-figure car for a baby who can’t even reach the pedals feels more like a status flex than a meaningful gesture. Some people even called the gesture “shallow,” especially considering how many families around the world are currently struggling just to make ends meet.
Of course, some praised the gesture, saying it was simply a father spoiling his daughter with what he could afford. But that hasn’t stopped the wider debate from spreading.
🎉 A Princess-Style Life from Day One
If you think this Rolls-Royce was a one-time splurge, think again. Isabella’s first birthday , back in February, was a fairy tale brought to life . Hosted at the ultra-luxurious Atlantis The Royal hotel in Dubai, the event featured falling snow, crystal chandeliers, a Cinderella-style carriage, and live performances by Bollywood stars like Tamannaah Bhatia , Atif Aslam , Rahat Fateh Ali Khan .
Isabella Born in London on February 25 , 2024 , Isabella has only just turned one, but she’s already living a life many could only dream of and that’s part of why people are reacting so strongly.
In today’s world, where every gesture is shared, liked, and commented on, the line between love and luxury gets thinner. Is it still about the child—or is it about how the world sees you as a parent ?
Sanpal’s gift may have come from a place of affection, but its public reception shows how sensitive people are to wealth displays, especially when they involve children. Some people see these moments as aspirational. Others see them as out of touch. At just one year old, Isabella now owns a luxury car she can’t drive—and a viral moment that might follow her for years. Whether this will be remembered as a heartfelt family milestone or a cautionary tale of excess, only time (and the internet) will tell.
One thing’s for sure: in 2025 , even a toddler’s birthday can ignite a global conversation on money, parenting, and what really matters.
