When Aamir Khan helped Darsheel Safary cry in Taare Zameen Par because child actor didn’t know how to do it

by

As someone who has grown up admiring the magic of Bollywood, I have always held Aamir Khan in high regard for his unparalleled dedication to his craft. His story with Darsheel Safary from Taare Zameen Par is a testament to this. The way he helped a young actor find his emotions, guiding him through the complexities of acting, was nothing short of remarkable.

Aamir Khan, a well-known Bollywood actor, is meticulous about his work for good reason. He’s renowned for focusing on the finer details when working on his projects, whether it’s transforming his character or mastering the intricacies of the roles he chooses to play. Besides being an exceptional actor, Aamir also has a knack for filmmaking. In fact, during the making of Taare Zameen Par, he even helped Darsheel Safary cry by providing guidance because the young actor found it difficult to shed tears on cue.

At a gathering, Aamir Khan shared a story about Darsheel Safary’s apprehension towards shooting an emotionally charged scene from Taare Zameen Par. Aamir disclosed that Darsheel hadn’t cried during any filming prior to this particular scene.

As a lifestyle expert, I found myself in an intriguing situation while working with Uncle Aamir on a film project. When a particularly emotional scene unfolded, he confided, “Aamir uncle, I feel uneasy about performing this scene.” I asked, “Why is that? You’ve nailed every other scene so far.” He admitted, “I simply don’t know how to cry. I’ve never shed a tear in my life.

Afterward, Aamir instructed Darsheel not to worry and attempted a new method to make him weep. The famous star inquired whether he could mimic his unusual breathing patterns. Subsequently, the superstar had him replicate his erratic breaths and display a facial expression that conveyed pain if he was experiencing it.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but reminisce about the magical moment when my TZP co-star broke down in tears for that unforgettable scene. Later, with bated breath, they’d eagerly await the arrival of that sequence on the silver screen.

To those who are not familiar with it, Aamir Khan talked about the part in the movie “Taare Zameen Par,” where Ishaan Awasthi is left at a boarding school by his family and weeps heartbreakingly in the bathroom. Released in 2007, this film was directed and produced by Aamir Khan himself.

This psychological drama delves into the tale of Ishaan, a young lad aged eight, grappling with dyslexia. In this production, Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma take on the roles of Ishaan’s loving parents.

In their forthcoming film “Sitaare Zameen Par,” directed by R.S. Prasanna, Aamir is set to meet up with Darsheel once more after an absence of 17 years. Alongside them, Genelia D’Souza takes on a significant role in the production. Notably, Aamir and Darsheel have collaborated together on a commercial project this year as well.
