Bollywood’s newest attempt at valourising the common man or woman is heartening and refreshing. We witnessed it in Bhag Milkha Bhag, Mary Kom, Airlift and now Neerja.

Neerja Bhanot’s valiant act of saving hundreds of passengers on board the hijacked Pan Am flight brought her accolades from all over the world. Years after her sad demise, Sonam Kapoor’s role as the young Neerja has revived our memories of her.

As a tribute to the brave girl, Indigo Staffers were seen sporting an “I am Neerja” badge across the country on Sunday. The effort didn’t go unnoticed on social media.
