Father`s Day is around the corner and it is believed that daughters are closer to their dads than sons. A father is the first man a girl knows when she enters the world. Many films have been made throughout the years that beautifully showcased the father and daughter bond. Let`s look at the several characters breaking the stereotypical ideologies of society in the movies and playing the role of the modern and coolest father.

Mahavir Singh Phogat in `Dangal`

`Mhari chhoriyan choro se kam hai ke,` this dialogue from Aamir Khan`s movie `Dangal` says it all. Amir Khan played the role of former wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat in the sports drama. Even being a strict father and a trainer to make his daughters world-class wrestlers, never supported the ideology that women can`t be wrestlers. Aamir`s character believed that daughters are no less than sons, they are equal in every aspect even physically. He may be seen as a harsh father-trainer yet he fought with everyone for his daughter`s aspirations.
