Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is a perfectionist for a reason. Aamir is known for his attention to detail while working on his projects, be it his character transformation or other nuances of the roles he chooses for himself. Apart from being a great actor, he is also a great filmmaker. Aamir once helped Darsheel Safary cry in Taare Zameen Par because the child artiste did not know how to shed tears.
During an event, Aamir Khan told how Darsheel had become restless to shoot an emotional scene of Safari Taare Zameen Par. Aamir revealed that Darsheel had never cried before filming this scene.
“He couldn’t cry…when that scene came he said, ‘Aamir uncle, I don’t want to do that scene.’ I said, ‘Why? You do all the scenes very well.’ He said, ‘I don’t know how to cry. I have never cried in my life.’ So now we’re halfway through the movie and suddenly I realize this baby doesn’t actually cry…”
After this Aamir asked Darsheel not to panic and used a different technique to make him cry. The superstar asked him if he could imitate his breathing. The superstar then asked her to mimic her irregular breathing and facial expressions to indicate if she was suffering from pain.
The superstar recalled that his Taare Zameen Par co-star finally cried for the scene and then later waited for the scene to come on screen.
Let us tell you, Aamir Khan discussed the scene where Ishaan Awasthi’s family leaves him alone in a boarding school and he cries inconsolably in his bathroom. Produced and directed by Aamir, Taare Zameen Par was released in 2007.
The psychological drama explores the journey of eight-year-old boy Ishaan, who suffers from dyslexia. Actors Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma were cast as Darsheel’s parents.
Aamir is reuniting with Darsheel after 17 years in his upcoming film Sitare Zameen Par. Genelia D’Souza also plays an important role in this film directed by RS Prasanna. Aamir and Darsheel also worked together in an advertisement this year.
