Sonam Kapoor’s best performance was in ‘Neerja’

A Bollywood movie about a family accepting their daughter is a lesbian was hailed by one and all. It comes after the country's Supreme Court scrapped a colonial-era ban on homosexuality. Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (How I Felt When I Saw A Girl) show parents dealing with their daughter being in a same-sex relationship.

The Hindi-language drama has veteran actor Anil Kapoor star alongside his daughter Sonam Kapoor. In the movie, Anil Kapoor, 62, is trying to get his daughter Sweety - played by Sonam Kapoor - married. But she is in love with a woman though. Will her family accept the relationship? That’s what the film is about. It is a beautiful and heartfelt film.

A leading magazine L’officiel had Sonam starring on the cover page for the February 2019 edition. On the cover page, she looked breathtakingly beautiful. Her million-dollar smile won many hearts. 

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja had stepped into the film industry with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Her career of over 10 years includes her sterling performances in films like Neerja, Ranjahnaa, Padman, Sanju and Veere Di Wedding,

The fashionable actress who has had a great run at the box-office last year is all set and determined to make 2019 a great one. Sonam might reunite with Padman co-actor Akshay Kumar for Rohit Shetty's much-awaited cop drama Sooryavanshi. Many actresses were considered for this role. But it could be the Neerja actress who might take the cake. In fact, Rohit had met Sonam along with his team to discuss an upcoming project. It was in all probabilities about Sooryavanshi. If Sonam bags this movie, there will be considerable addition to the number of fans she already has.

I personally feel that Neerja was so far the best film Sonam acted in. This was a brilliant movie. Sonam proved her prowess as an actress. She had given her best throughout the movie. This is the second movie of hers which I liked after Ranjahnaa. No one in Bollywood couldd have done this role better than Sonam. There was hardly anyone who had not showered praise on 'Neerja' and protagonist Sonam Kapoor. The film was indeed an inspiring masterpiece. This film was, in fact, the favourite of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar too. Sonam Kapoor played the role of the brave heart Neerja Bhanot so excellently that the Indian government came up with a stamp in honor of Neerja Bhanot. Sonam was deeply moved by Neerja's story and she went all out to narrate the tale of this forgotten hero to one and all.  Several from the industry have watched the film and loved it. But Sonam will always cherish the compliment that came from cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.
