I agree partially. But this is oversimplification of father daughter relationship. Parent-child relationship is just like every other human relationship , nothing different or more special. It can a great one , a good one , a blah or a negative destructive one.
My best friend in Medical college , she was the first child of their parents and her father was so upset that it's a daughter ( he wanted a son . ) that he saw her face for the first time 2 days after her birth. Her dad is a renowned scholar and a highly reputed professor with books on his name.
Even later her dad truly accepted her only after she proved to be very good in studies and also because her mom put her foot down on having another child , so her dad understood this is the only child he's going to have so he better make peace with it.
My colleague , a muslim girl , has 5 siblings. Their parents kept trying for a son till they succeeded at their 6th attempt. The eldest girl was married away at the age of 20 . Summarily disposed off. Then her next two sisters as well.
Many celebrities , be in hollywood or bollywood , or normal ordinary people , fathers forget or grossly ignore the children from previous marriage as they remarry after divorce and get children with the new wife. Personally know many such cases.
Shilpa Shetty's husband is obsessed with his son from Shilpa , whereas he completey defies the existence of his first born daughter from previous marriage.
Anthony Hopkins had cut off ties with his only child, his daughter since many many years back and said even in a recent iv , he's no connection nothing with her.
Of course there is also RDJ , who's extremely fond of his first born Indio though he got him from his previous bad marriage.
Fathers come in all kinds and natures and types. That is my point here.
