Sonam Kapoor along with director Ram Madhvani, producer Atul Kasbekar and team will be visiting Chandigarh to attend the bravery award that is held on January 13 each year. The actress who plays Neerja Bhanot in Ram Madhvani’s forthcoming film Neerja is really looking forward to attending the award ceremony. The Neerja Bhanot Award is an award of recognition conferred up to once a year by the The Neerja Bhanot Pan Am Trust in India to a woman of that country subjected to social injustice, who faces the situation with grit and determination and extends help to other women in similar distress. The annual Neerja Bhanot Award was instituted in 1990 and named in honour of Senior Flight Purser, Neerja Bhanot, who saved hundreds of lives while sacrificing her own, during a Pan Am Flight 73 hijack at Karachi Airport in September 1986. It carries a cash prize of Rs 1.5 lakh, a citation and a trophy. Actress Sonam Kapoor was very keen on being a part of the ceremony and now will be attending the ceremony along with the team and real life brothers of Neerja in Chandigarh on January 13.
