Actor Aamir Khan's latest film 'Secret Superstar' which also stars Zaira Wasim in the lead is high on emotional content. The film centres on a young girl named Insia, who with her mother's support opens up her own YouTube channel where she puts up videos of herself singing. Now, Aamir is known to make films that touch the audience's hearts.

Recently, in an interview with a leading tabloid when Aamir was asked why he always emphasizes on emotional connect, he stated, "When I say emotional connect, I don't mean crying because that's what people often associate with that word - "Oh matlab rona dhona hai." What I mean is some emotion is being tapped into - it's making you feel thrilled, giving you lots of stress, because the suspense is an emotion being tapped into, in a thriller. Or it could be fear because it's a horror film. So, the film connecting at an emotional level is important to me."

Talking about emotions, Aamir himself gets emotional after watching films. He had tears in his eyes after watching 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', 'Katti Batti' and 'Sultan'. Well, at least he knows how to express his feelings. Stay tuned for more updates.
