There could be several reasons behind being indifferent towards a teenager. It's a normal day to day issue. But, he protects her, keeps her safe with him, and fulfils his responsibilities.
What does Basu do? Lets a murderer Komolika take the authority to leave the kid in an orphanage. Let her die. Misses her apparently yet doesnt take an initiative to find her out.
Had RB known that Sneha is alive, he'd have utilized his power and invested his time and resources to find her out.
I know its an insult to RB to compare him with Basu but just saying. Anyone can miss or pretend to do it. Fulfilling responsibilities is way more important.
