But speaking with DAILY POST in an exclusive interview, Charlyboy said he apologized to his daughter because he realized he was encroaching into her private life.
”I apologized because I had same clash with my father who was trying to doctor my life. I resisted and said no, I will tell my own story.
”I did not realize I was encroaching. Even though initially when I heard, like any other parent, I was concerned but then I cannot be hypocritical because I have fought for LGBT right and some many rights. So because of my daughter, I cant change.
“When I realized that, I apologized to her because we are friends. It is not a father-daughter relationship, we are buddy and that is the special bond I share with all my children,”
