The generation goes on, sons earn and feed the parents and are better than daughters, my mother has two more daughters due to which the attitude of the grandparents was not good with us.

Because of which he could not even see me, my father liked daughters but how could he tell his family.

After that I made up my mind and told father that I will do everything you want from a son and I did it,” Adkara added.
