Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, whose upcoming film Piku explores the bitter-sweet relationship of a father and daughter, says daughters are a father's weakness.
The actor posted on his Facebook page, "Piku, a slice of life, a journey, a Father and a Daughter. Daughters are a father's weakness and may they ever remain so. Savour the moments of the girl in the family.
"Save the girl child, educate her, for when you educate a girl, you educate an entire family. Be proud of our culture and ethics, be proud of our tradition."
The 72-year-old plays Deepika Padukone's father in the Shoojit Sircar-directed Piku, which also stars Irrfan Khan.
The actor, who has a daughter, Shweta Nanda, was all praise for daughters on his official blog as well.
"I am with daughter by my side these days. Shweta at home, Piku in the profession, and the feel of their presence, sound and worth. I am blessed and honoured in both. My real and my reel meet up. It rarely happens, but it has in this," he posted on srbachchan.tumblr.com.
With the tag line of 'Motion Se Hi Emotion', Piku promises to take the audience on an emotional road trip. Written by Juhi Chaturvedi, the film hits theatres on May 8.
