The Word.: When was the last time you cried?
Dolly Singh: “I cry a lot! I am an extremely sensitive person, so crying is my first response to anything—whether it is good news or bad. Earlier, I used to hate myself for crying so easily, but I have realised that it is a part of who I am and that crying does not make me a weak person.”
Akshay Sharma: “I schedule my grief…so it’s every Saturday!”
Gaurav Jai Gupta: “Back in January this year…when I lost my father.”
Kriti Tula: “I don’t cry easily. But the last time I did, it was when my childhood friend was leaving India to settle in Canada. Seeing her off at the airport made me tear up.”
Ikshit Pande: “Was it this morning or last evening? I am joking, but I cry very often. Crying is essential to happiness. It is a method of relief…it can make one feel light, relieved, or even heard. Crying often helps me feel light and release some steam, here and there.”
