Neerja Bhanot embraced death but till now people have not forgotten her. Neerja Bhanot was a girl who proved that girls are not inferior to boys in any case. Neerja Bhanot had fought with terrorists and because of her, lives of 360 people were saved. Neerja Bhanot could not save herself, but the world still remembers her for her bravery. Neerja Bhanot was affectionately called 'Lado' by her parents. She has made a place in the hearts of people with her bravery and courageous deeds and even today she is dear to everyone. A film has also been made on the life of Neerja Bhanot, in which actress Sonam Kapoor played Neerja. During that time Neerja's mother became emotional on seeing Sonam and she said, "This is my lado".

Neerja Bhanot was the attendant Neerja of Pan Am flight on 5 September 1986. At that time the tickets were all booked and people were boarding the plane from Mumbai to America. Four terrorists hijacked the aircraft in Karachi, Pakistan. Their attempt was to target Americans. When the Pan Am flight-73 was hijacked in Karachi, the aircraft had a total of 380 passengers. During that time the hijackers wanted to take the plane to Israel and they wanted a building to be crashed. When the terrorists boarded the plane in Karachi, they pulled Neerja by the hair at the entrance to welcome the passengers. As soon as Neerja realized the danger, she immediately informed the cockpit crew of the aircraft through 'hijack code' on the intercom. After that, the cockpit crew escaped immediately from the emergency gate of the cockpit. For nearly 17 hours, Neerja and other crew members made every effort to save the passengers. During that time, a total of 41 Americans were present in the aircraft, out of which two were killed by hijackers.

The hijackers then asked Neerja to 'submit the passports of all the passengers so that the Americans could be identified. But Neerja very cleverly hid all passports. At the same time, both the pilot and the co-pilot got information about the hijack and they cleverly escaped. Neerja was left alone who saved the lives of others till the very end. It is said that she lost her life in this accident but she saved the passengers. Neerja's birthday is on September 7 and a few hours before her 23rd birthday, terrorists sacked her with bullets.
