Neerja Bhanots colleague is NOT happy with Sonam Kapoors Neerja!

Posted: 9 years ago

30 years back, a Pan Am flight was hijacked in Karachi and a 23 year old ordinary young girl from the bylanes of Mumbai became this inspirational hero to many Indians worldwide. That woman was Neerja Bhanot. Three decades later when Ram Madhvani decided to make a film on her tryst with the terrorists and sequence the entire happenings of the hijack, focusing on Neerja's valiant effort to save 359 lives on the dreaded flight, he had a winning film in hand.

Sonam Kapoor stepped into the shoes of Bhanot effortlessly and has received immense adulation for her perfect portrayal of the brave heart in the biopic. While everyone is heaping praises on the cast and crew for making a film like Neerja, one of the crew members Nupoor Abrol who was present on the flight when the hijack happened has now hit back at the makers for wrong portrayal of the entire incident.

On a Facebook post, Nupoor commented, "Yes, truly a very difficult moment. But also a difficult moment for all those flight attendants to accept the movie for what it is unfairly propagating. Neerja was a wonderful person and I think even her soul today would cringe at taking this undeserved adulation. Not fair to the FA's who have in reality faced their ordeal!"

She further continued, "Oh no! I was incidental in that plot. It was Astrid, Sherene, Sunshine and off course Massey who were the real heroes of the day. I am glad today I can show my gratitude to them."

Neerja was shot while protecting three kids from the terrorists. Although she managed to save 359 lives on the plane, she could not survive herself. Now, all this was shown in the film. But what Nupoor has written is completely shocking. We wonder how the makers will respond to this!

This Nupoor is a colleague. How the hell does she know what Neerja's soul would do?

Neerja's family knows best and movie was made with their feedback and consideration in mind.

The rest of the world needs to STFU and quit pretending they know much about Neerja and what she would be thinking.

Maine abhi tak dekhi nahin movie
per main ye kahunga


Point 1

Rest of crew ki to pata nahin pilots to kud ke bhag gaye.
baki ki crew member main se Neerja senior thi
Neerja ki contribution ko koi nakar nahin sakta
All her awards from India,USA and Pakistan acknowledge it.


Point 2

Yes exaggeration may happen .Ye movie hai wo bhi Indian movie.Thoda bahot dilute to karenge hi

If they think Neerja is getting undue credit & gratitude, then what's stopping them from getting a biopic made on whoever they think deserves it more?

Are they insniuating that the Indian, Pakistani and American governments were placed under the imperius curse (HP reference) by Neerja's family and bestowed her with the awards unknowingly?

Btw this Facebook post could be fake. But if it's real then I hope Team Neerja speak out on the issue soon. This movie should do well cause of its great screenplay, not cause of the controversies.

I thought too also mostly the colleague and class mates themselves contacted sonam and ram madhvani

And if suppose this nupur is saying truth may be she already went earlier with the survivors.coz Neerja was the last one to go out this even from Karachi officials confirmed it.
