....is the most famous one-liner of Rajesh Khanna to the sobbing Sharmila Tagore from the immortal love story, movie- Amar Prem.
It is an irony that he is one of the very few actors (or maybe the only one) who can emote emotions to such intensity that he never needed glycerine during any scene in which he was to show tears flowing down his cheecks. He truely is a very romantic and emotional actor-superstar.
We also saw Vindu Dara Singh, a Jat, a macho, a He-Man and son of the famous world class wrestler, Dara Singh breaking down more often than one expected, including himself in the just concluded Big Boss 3. He confessed, when asked by BigB, that the last time he cried was while watching Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
During a recent interview, he said that he does not cry but while in BB house,the circumstances made him weak and he let out his emotions in form of tears.
I must confess that I too get emotional and tears roll down my eyes, often.
The general image percieved, as I think, is that a Man should not or cannot be so emotional that he ends up crying.
Out of curiosity, I would like to know on this forum the following;
1. Can a Man not cry?
2. Should a Man supress his emotions before a woman or in public??
3. How does a female/woman take to on seeing a Man cry???
Foot-note: Will a time come when the heroine says, "Rahul...I hate tears" !!
