Neerja was a career-defining role for Sonam Kapoor and the actress says being recognised by the National Film Awards jury for her work in the movie is ‘sweet and encouraging.’
The Ram Madhvani-directed biopic on Neerja Bhanot was adjudged as the best Hindi film while Sonam received a special mention.
“My mother (Sunita) told me that I had received a special mention and I found it sweet and encouraging. I was like ‘is it a consolation award?’ She told me to speak to Anupam Kher uncle as he received it for ‘Daddy.’ I spoke to Shabana (Azmi) aunty as well about it,” Sonam said. Sonam will be with her parents in the capital to receive the special honour.
