Being emotional is okay.

People who are emotional and tend to react to surprises or things differently.

Some cry, faint and others just stare without saying a word. According to a documented study, people who are emotionally healthy are in control of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

They are able to cope with life’s challenges.

In the local showbiz industry, we have several celebrities who can't hide their emotions in public and they burst into tears.

Before we get into the list of criers, here is KTN swahili news anchor,  Zubeida Kananu, who could not hold in her laughter during a live broadcast.

Her laughter is infectious.

Away from uncontrollable laughter, we have seen many especially TV girls melt into tears and below is a list of Kenyan celebrities who've cried or shed tears in public.

  1. Phil Karanja (Celina's husband)

The former Tahidi High actor and now producer cried on his wedding day. Phil and his wife Celina (Katherine Kamau) walked down the late last year and in a recent media interview, she revealed that her husband sobbed "uncontrollably" on their big day.

"HE DID, EVEN AFTERWARDS WHEN HE REMEMBERS IT, HE TEARS UP"

2. Anne Kiguta

A video of Anne Kiguta shedding tears of joy went viral and according to the Citizen TV presenter, she was just about to go live for a bulletin when her director made her laugh her heart out.

She laughed until she couldn’t take it anymore.

"#Meltdown I panic as I realize I can't stop laughing at Metumi's 'Chapa ilale' statement and it's a minute to the highlights... SMDH,"  she wrote on Instagram.
