Aamir Khan tears up at son Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s ‘Ek Din Ki Mehfil’ event: 5 times the actor got emotional in public

Aamir Khan is one of the stars who is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve. On multiple occasions, he has shown his sensitive side to the world, most recently at the special event held for his son Junaid Khan and actress Sai Pallavi’s upcoming movie ‘Ek Din.’ He was seen getting teary-eyed during the musical evening held in Mumbai, organised as a celebration ahead of the film’s release on May 1. During the live performances, Aamir Khan was captured on video being visibly emotional, wiping away his tears as he listened.

As mentioned earlier, this wasn’t a standalone moment. Here are a few other times Aamir Khan was seen unable to control his tears.

Unveiling true stories of survivors, ‘Satyamev Jayate’ marked Aamir Khan’s television debut. At the launch event of the show, Aamir Khan was seen getting sentimental. He was reflecting on how the true tales leave an impact on him. Aamir was seen wiping off his tears when he admitted, "I'm a very emotional person and often broke down when I heard people's stories."

‘Katti Batti’ was a light-hearted romantic comedy drama, but when Aamir Khan saw it, he called it a real tear-jerker. In 2015, he was seen breaking down after a private screening of the movie. Speaking about it in a conversation with Hindustan Times, Aamir shared, “It's an extremely emotional and moving story about the beliefs one has in love and the extent to which one goes for those beliefs. It reminded me of moments from my own life.”

He added, “I am an obsessive kind of emotional. I am a sucker for Mills & Boon stories. The film reminded me of moments that I have been through that were highly romantic, intense, and obsessive.”

Salman Khan’s ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ left several fans teary-eyed. Aamir Khan too couldn’t control his tears after watching the movie. He mentioned that while watching the movie, he got so emotional that he needed a peice of cloth or tissue to wipe his tears. His boy offered him a brown towel, which the actor carried on his shoulder while leaving the theatre. He told Hindustan Times, "When I started watching the film, I didn't have a towel or anything. But I got very emotional in the second half, so I asked my boy to get me something, and he got me that.”

Another Salman Khan movie that left Aamir Khan with tears in his eyes is ‘Sultan.’ Never shy to cry in public, Aamir Khan broke down after watching Sultan. When the press asked him to choose a movie between ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and ‘Sultan,’ the actor confessed, “It’s difficult to compare Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan. Both are very good movies. I don’t compare. But Sultan is outstanding, moving, and cried in the second half. It is a very inspiring film.”

“I messaged him at night, congratulating him. It deserves success. Sultan will break all records, I am sure,” he added.
