A Proud Anil Kapoor Clicks Away as Sonam Receives National Award

The Kapoor family indeed has reason to celebrate the ‘Neerja’ actor.

Sonam Kapoor received her first National Award from President Pranab Mukherjee yesterday and it was indeed a very proud moment for the Kapoor family. Even as the Neerja actor went on stage to receive her trophy, Anil could be seen clicking away happily.

Anil Kapoor took to social media to share his excitement:

Clearly cannot contain my excitement! Surrounded by cameras but a father always turns photographer in these moments! Congratulations @sonamkapoor !! So proud!! #nationalfilmawards
