Actor-activist Aamir Khan needed a moment at the press conference to announce season three of his TV show Satyamev Jayate. Describing himself as "injured," the PK star became distinctly teary-eyed, wiping his eyes on his shirt and asking for a glass of water.
Aamir was speaking about how the stories of those he encountered behind-the-scenes of Satyamev Jayate had affected him. He told the assembled reporters, "On the show, you see me speak to 8 or 10 people, 12 or 15 people. But during research I hear the stories of upto 100 people. The nature of the some of the stories is such that we are unable to have them on the show." (Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan takes on INTERPOL's new mantle)
At this point, Aamir's brimming eyes and choked up voice silenced him and the reporters for a minute that seemed like an eternity.
On previous seasons of Satyamev Jayate, Aamir has been accused by some of producing tears with an eye on TRPs. It's unlikely that his critics, those who watch the footage below, will dismiss his extremely emotional comments at the press conference as crocodile tears.
