Jaya Bachchan gets emotional over Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

20 Jul 2013

At a special screening of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Milkha Singh bio-pic, Jaya Bachchan was so moved she couldn't hold back her tears.

Says a source from the BMB team, "Jayaji seldom attends movie screenings these days. But she made it a point to be there for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag because of the family's very close relations with the film's director Rakeysh Mehra and Farhan. After the screening she just couldn't control her emotions. She called Farhan aside and wept openly, telling him he had lived the pain, suffering and triumph of Milkha." While Farhan refused to comment on Mrs. Bachchan's emotional response to the film and his performance, saying it was a private moment, Jaya when contacted did say, "I loved it. Farhan was brilliant. I enjoyed a film so much after a long time."
