Many people cannot stop wondering why actor Tom Cruise does not have the heart to meet his beautiful daughter that he shares with Katie Holmes.

Suri Cruise just turned 18 and she was seen celebrating the joyous occasion with loved ones.

While her mother and a host of other friends happened to be there, one prominent name was missing again. And it was her estranged father. This has led to widespread speculation as to why her dad out of all the people in the world refuses to keep any relation with her.

When Cruise and Holmen finalized their divorce, Cruise was not given custody of his daughter but was only allowed to visit her frequently. There was an option that allowed him to visit her for up to ten days each month.

But the world of Scientology is very complex and not a lot of people understand its complex mechanism of working. This is said to be one leading reason that has added to the rift.

As a father who strongly believes in the world of Scientology, Holmes was clear from day one how her daughter would not be forced to practice that and had every right in the world to be free. This further added to the rift that can be seen today.

“Cruise knows that and also knows that she could be a source of trouble for him in this regard. He maintains a silent distance for obvious reasons”- an insider mentioned.
