He is an achiever, and works practically, thinks practically, and I don't think that he does not consider relationships secondary to him. His relationship with taani, though she is not her daughter, proves that. It's quite impossible in today's world that someone else would take care like this.
And moreover his treatment to swayam, unconsciously or subconsciously every parents want their offspring to carry their legacy, to fulfill what they couldn't and if they achieved a lot, they want that they kids will do much more than them.
His dislike for dance...has two reasons. First, their mentality, all characters...in d3 are deeply patriarchal and conservative. Shekhawat family leads in that. first of all being a dancer isn't that exactly powerful impressive persona, which would fit into a masculine stereotype perfectionist guy, that guy should be with abs and toned physique, winning spirit, impulsive, aggressive, and in some field like business, or somewhere where his command works.
Another thing is definitely practical, being a dancer satisfies swayam, but the lifestyle they are used to, that's different. Okay swayam uses cycle, but otherwise... everything is luxurious, absolutely rich, and a fact, you can never ever compare a dancer and a corporate world guy in terms of power and money
