Pakistani model and actor Junaid Niazi did not agree with the people who gave him the label ‘cry baby’ and the “Rotu Award” honored by Tamasha show.
Junaid appeared on the Fuchsia show hosted by Rabia Mughni alongside the winner of ‘Tamasha 2’ show Aruba Mirza and revealed the reason behind his cry.
Here are the exact words of the heartthrob during the conversation with the host:
“In the third week of the show, I started getting depressed because I was worried for my family as they live alone and there was too much negativity that I wanted to run away so I quit.
“With the passage of time I got some peace and I started crying, I used to cry because no one was real with me, and was unable to talk to anyone so I started my friendship with cameras as they would not judge.
But at a certain point when you think that there is no one to understand you the result is your outburst in emotions. There was so much anxiety and depression.”

The actor also raised his concerns against honoring the ‘Rotu Award’ saying:
“I did not like that ‘ROTU’ word, you can call Mr. emotional…
“I don’t know why people and other contestants consider crying as a sin and say that I was acting to seek attention, I cannot act all the time.
“I am human and I have feelings obviously if you cannot tell people about your situation you cry to feel normal.”

He further said those men are strong and express their emotions and I will always promote that ‘boys do and can cry’.
Junaid is emotional and he's not afraid to show it.
During his time in Tamasha, Junaid shed a lot of tears. His encounter with his daughter at Tamasha Ghar caused quite a stir and went viral.
The actor also cried when he went to meet his Baby Baji co-stars Javeria and Saud which became the cause of a lot of criticism.
