Even Malala Yousafzai loved Neerja when she watched it, so what are you waiting for?

The Sonam Kapoor starrer ‘Neerja’ directed by Ram Madhvani which brings to life the tragic real-life heroic act of 23-year-old flight attendant Neerja Bhanot who lost her life while saving others in the hijacked Pan Am Flight 73 in September 1986 has been receiving rave reviews since its release.

Moviegoers and critics alike have been bowled over by the film’s sensitive portrayal of the set of events and also for its lead actress Sonam Kapoor’s brilliant acting and turns out Malala Yousafzai shares those sentiments too.

As it turns out, the Pakistani activist and youngest-ever Nobel Laureate managed to watch the film at a private screening in London and was absolutely blown over by it.

Glad that she liked the movie, Neerja’s lead actress Sonam Kapoor shared a picture of Malala standing next to the film’s poster on Instagram and let us know what she thought of the film.

The caption reads: “Malala said ‘I am stronger than fear’ and for #Neerja ‘fear gave her courage! Thank you #MalalaYousafzai for attending a private screening of #Neerja in London. I’m so glad you liked the film.”

While Malala, a Pakistani teengar had survived a brutal Taliban attack for advocating women's right to education, Neerja saved 359 lives on board the Pan Am 73 flight that was hijacked in Karachi in 1986.

One braveheart standing in solidarity with another braveheart’s sacrifice is heartening, indeed.

And, also is a sign for everyone who hasn’t watched the movie to go watch it.
