I understand what you are trying to say but I have a different take on Bajaj's relationship with Kuki
Mr. Bajaj is a man who doesn't believe in gestures which can not be purchased by money, you won't see him gifting handmade cards, spending family time etc. His form of affection comes from things he can get for people he loves, he can spend crores on them that's how he functions
Kuki's form of affection is someone who spends time with her, hugs her, kisses her etc Even when she was a child, Bajaj always got things like Teddy to make her feel better, a child was happy with these things and he would ask kisses and kiss her in return but now that she has grown up Bajaj can't ask her for kisses or kiss her, there's a boundary respecting personal space between teenage girl and their fathers.
Bajaj is still the same, minus hugs and kisses, he understands she wants to go to India, he gave huge donation for her admission, that's his way of showing love and affection but Kuki has changed, she expects a friend in her father, which Bajaj is not, he is not comfortable with letting his guard down in front of anyone, he reads people but he is afraid of people knowing him too much
The change in relationship is inevitable as Kuki is a grown up and Bajaj's approach towards her is as it was when she was a child
That's my father too, He would get anything for us, we could buy anything we want but he wouldn't know what was my major in college, we didn't really share relationship like friendship. In fact in most Indian households this is the case, I remember my friend's father would come home at 2 and we used to play video games on her computer, the moment we would hear his car, we would hide our game under the bed 😂 Kuki - Bajaj relationship is very normal for me and my background
