TIL Desk Bollywood/ “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 told.
Sonam will be with her parents in the capital tomorrow to receive the special honour. “I am very excited about it. It is such a matter of pride that my parents will be there with me. I don’t know how to describe it in words but it is definitely the most special feeling. There is a lot of pressure from now on as an actor,” she says.
