Sonam Kapoor Keen to attend the Neerja Bhanot Bravery Awards

After winning hearts with her princess act in Salman Khan's 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo', the 'Khoobsoorat' actress Sonam Kapoor will be next seen in a biopic movie named 'Neerja'.

The person is honoured with a cash prize of `1.5 lakh, a citation and a trophy. Sonam will be accompanied by the director of the film Ram Madhwani and producer Atul Kasbekar for the event.
