Sonam Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Neerja’ is yet to release, however, the film has already gathered appreciation. The biographic film tells the story of 23-year-old Neerja Bhanot, the head purser on Pan Am flight 73, which was hijacked by four Palestinian terrorists in Karachi in 1986.

Neerja was shot dead by the terrorists while saving the passengers. Later, she became India’s youngest recipient of the Ashok Chakra award.

Check out this video showing the making of the film where Sonam talks about her first meeting with Neerja Bhanot‘s mother.

The old lady told Sonam that she reminded her of her Neerja, though for the mother, her daughter was the prettiest. Film’s Director Atul Kasbekar reveals in the video that the mother said, “My laado was prettier!” 

Psst, isn’t every mother in this whole wide world sounds just like her?

By the way, the recording of Late Neerja Bhanot’s last ever flight announcement is doing rounds on the internet these days. Want to listen?

Chills.
