Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan couldn't hold back her tears after watching a special screening of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", which says the strife and struggle of Indian sprinter Milkha Singh's life.

"Jayaji seldom attends film 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 (Akhtar)," told a source from "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag".

"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," further added the source.

Farhan refused to comment on Jaya's emotional response to the movie and his act, saying it was a private moment.

When contacted, Jaya told, "I loved it. Farhan was brilliant. I enjoyed a film so much after a long time."
