Recently Sonam Kapoor has been chosen for a Special Mention at the 64th National Film Awards. Her proud daddy actor Anil Kapoor says his daughter Sonam is very 'fortunate' to have been chosen for a Special Mention at the 64th National Film Awards.

Anil at the IIFA voting said: "I am very happy. I was discussing it with my family that she is so fortunate. In such a short span of time, at such a young age, with such a less number of films, she has got this recognition from the highest award in our country."

Besides, the film has been loved by all. "All the departments of 'Neerja' were excellent. But Sonam was Neerja and Neerja was Sonam. I am very happy that not just the film, but even Sonam has received a National Award. I am looking forward to the May 3 event when Sonam will be on dais receiving an award from the President of this country."

Neerja was named the Best Hindi Film for the 64th National Awards. On being a part of the IIFA voting weekend, he said, "As far as my involvement is there, IIFA is like family as I have associated with it from many years. Being in New York, it involves high expectations, more hard work, large scale grandeur and much more."
