Sonam Kapoor goofs up speech, thanks ‘terrorists’ for award

Sonam Kapoor won the Best Actress Award for her performance in ‘Neerja’, the biopic on air-hostess Neerja Bhanot who lost her life saving the passengers aboard the hijacked Pan Am Flight 73. The Bollywood actress, however, reportedly made a blunder during her acceptance speech.

While receiving the award, Sonam Kapoor thanked her family, friends, film crew and apparently the terrorists and passengers too.

A report in DNA quoted Sonam Kapoor as saying, “I have to thank the terrorists and passengers for this award!”

According to the report, after Sonam’s goof-up, another actress present, who was also nominated in the Best Actress category, turned around and said jokingly, “What! Are the terrorists and passengers here?”

Sonam Kapoor meant to thank the actors who played the terrorists and passengers in the film, but ended up making a blunder on stage.
