Aamir Khan doesn’t hate tears

Aamir Khan, who is getting rather popular for sobbing at movie screenings, bawled like a baby at the screening of Kapoor & Sons. The actor admitted, “I cry a lot while watching films, and I cried a lot during this one too.” Here’s why we believe him.

A little over a month ago, Sonam Kapoor’s inspiring and moving film ‘Neerja made Aamir so weepy that the tears didn’t stop until he exited the cinema hall — much to the delight of the cameras.

We all know how he couldn’t sit through Katti Batti starring nephew Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut, without an XL-sized box of tissues to sob into. Director Nikhil Advani had said, “The last 22 minutes, I literally had to sit and hold the tissue box for Aamir. He had copious tears! He was crying and I was so happy.”

Aamir, famously lachrymose, appeared to have wept buckets through Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan too when he watched it at an Eid screening. He came out of the theatre with a towel to wipe off his tears.

The actor was forced by wife Kiran Rao to watch Kalki Koechlin’s film, Margarita With A Straw and even then he couldn’t stop weeping when he finally saw it.
