Here's why Kumar Sanu didn't speak about his adopted daughter
What's the story
Kumar Sanu is a legend in his own right, but he too is afraid of society's judgment.
In 2001, he adopted a girl child named Shannon. However, he wasn't comfortable with discussing her adopted origins.
The singer renowned for hits like 'Dheere Dheere se meri zindagi mein aana' opened up on 'Dil Hai Hindustani 2' show.
Here's what he said.
Father's love
Speaking about daughter, Sanu says he loves Shannon unconditionally
Sanu made it clear that he loved Shannon irrespective of the fact that she was adopted.
He went on to say that he has always been proud of her hard work and achievements, and she brought great pride to the family with her connections in Hollywood.
It seems only fear of societal judgment held Sanu back from talking about his daughter.
Quote
Sanu is a proud father and he shows it
Sanu said, "But since now this is out, I'm really proud of Shannon. It doesn't matter if she is my real daughter or not... A lot of people in Hollywood know me because of her and that is a matter of pride of our family."
Relationship
The love flows both ways for Shannon and Sanu
The father and daughter share unconditional love. Once, Shannon dedicated a video to her Padma Shri awardee father and we think that's an adorable gesture.
The legend's daughter made her debut with pop single 'A long time'.
Now, that we know about Shannon and Sanu, we hope the brilliant father-daughter duo team up for a project soon.
