not just for the award, but also for your choices & decisions... You know who you are & you've never backed down from a challenge and that's amazing to watch as a father and actor... Congratulations beta...," the actor wrote. Sonam's sister Rhea also took to her social media handle to congratulate her for her win. The 'Khoobsurat' actress played the role of Pan Am flight attendant late Neerja Bhanot in the Ram Madhv directed film, which is adapted from true life event of the flight hijacking in 1986.

Congratulations on your award last night @sonamkapoor but more importantly congratulations on NEERJA one of the bravest and rarest gems I've seen come to life in this industry. A film near impossible to get made in this climate without people willing to put their money where their mouth is. Just a couple of crazy kids that love what they do and tell stories with passion and no other agenda. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 #respect
