Ayesha from DDD...as much as I admire Neerja Bhanot , I can't stand Anil ki beti...I agree that she resembles Neerja more than any other actress, I didn't like her one bit in the role

Preeti from Kabir Singh. She's better than most of the women in the poll, as most of them are wannabes, who tried to copy the west and forgot about India culture.

Preeti should be admired by every young woman in our country. She's a true inspiration. She knows what's her place in this patriarchal society and doesn't try to oppose it. She knows she would never be as good as a man, and being born as a woman her only purpose in the world is to please a man however he wants, and most importantly, always be submissive to him.

I really, genuinely hope you are being sarcastic.

Why would I be sarcastic? Do only wannabe western women are worth admiration?

too late reply ... you are in a way right . The role may not have been written in a way you said but ... that’s exactly what sandeep was saying .

Preeti is exactly like kabir ... kindered spirits who identified each other immediately (supposedly).


Preeti exactly behaves like Kabir when given a chance and could not many times because she was limited by patriarchy and being a woman .

Telling the story of Kabir is telling the story of Preeti ... but never gets a chance to be told the same way as a man because she cannot act like Kabir always even though it’s her true self.

Even kabir does not understand her duality ... since he know they both are alike.


She is even pregnant... to show how nature also gives a woman short end of the stick .

Voted for Neerja Bhanot! Piku was strong but not as brave as her. Yes, when I watch the movie I visualize the real life Neeria Bhanot. Not Sonam! The mother rightly said the real life Neerja was more beautiful! IMO! Not to mention so intelligent fooled real life terrorist!
