Sonam Kapoor is shocked that her film Neerja is banned in Pakistan. "This film is about humanity, it's about Neerja not discriminating between Hindu, Christian, Muslim, or Pakistani-Americans and Indians. It is about just saving anybody and everybody because she believed in humanity, she believed in insaniyat," the actor said. Sonam Kapoor told India Today that the ban on Neerja continues to baffle her, citing that Pakistan was the first country out of the US and India to honour her with an award for her courage and bravery. "I feel it's so sad Pakistan isn't showing the film. I'm very, very disheartened because there's nothing in the film that depicts Pakistan in a bad light. The Bhanot's told us that before India or the US awarded Neerja, 30 years ago it was Pakistan who awarded Neerja with the Tamgha-e-Insaaniyat," Sonam added.
