Colleague unhappy with "Neerja"

As the positive word of mouth is going stronger, Sonam Kapoor's "Neerja" is witnessing increased collections and the figure touched 22+ crores 'gross' already. But the original Neerja Bhanot's colleagues today allege that facts were distorted in the film.

Nupoor Abrol, another flight attendant on the dreaded Pan Am flight that was hijacked in 1986 claims that excessive admiration was given to Sonam, while everyone on that flight went through same ordeal.

In a FB post, Nupoor, commented this way:

Yes, truly a very difficult moment. But also a difficult moment for all those flight attendants to accept the movie for what it is unfairly propagating. Neerja was a wonderful person and I think even her soul today would cringe at taking this undeserved adulation. Not fair to the FA's who have in reality faced their ordeal!"

"Oh no! I was incidental in that plot. It was Astrid, Sherene, Sunshine and off course Massey who were the real heroes of the day. I am glad today I can show my gratitude to them."

We have to see if "Neerja" film makers will give any explanation over this.
