passengers to escape. Neerja was shot by the hijackers and from a total of 41
American passengers, only 2 were killed during firing. One of the children,who
was in that flight and then aged 7, is

his inspiration and he owes every day of his life to her.

Chakra Award, India's most prestigious gallantry award for bravery during peace
time.
Sonam Kapoor said that she has been also a victim of racism. Sonam said: “Intolerance is a very broad term. I have faced racism in many countries. They see brown skin and they judge you already. When I go abroad people already have their perception, like we are always in parda (veil) or our parents are very conservative. It is a pity to see that racism is so ingrained in our society even today. What we need is a dialogue and a pragmatic approach to fight it out."
