Actress Sonam Kapoor is disappointed with her Pakistani fans, who are watching pirated versions of her film Neerja. She also questioned the logic behind the film’s ban in the neighbouring country.
“The film has not released officially there, but it
is very sad that this has happened. Today I was doing a live chat and there are several of my fans who are from Pakistan… Since my films have done well in Pakistan, they’re all watching pirated copies of the film over there,” Sonam said at a press conference in Mumbai. “It’s a matter of sadness, I am very disappointed,” the actress added.
The film is based on the life of Neerja Bhanot,
the air hostess who sacrificed her life while saving passengers on board hijacked Pan Am flight 73.
The film released in India on February 19,
but it was banned in Pakistan for reportedly
showing the country in a poor light.
