And Sonam Kapoor wanted her to watch it"I was very grateful to Ram and I am very humbled with the fact that I was Ram Madhvani's first and only choice for this film. I was the first choice for Aanand L Rai in Raanjhannaa and Sooraj Barjatya in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
I feel lucky when a director like Ram Madhvani believes in you so much, you too begin to feel the same about yourself. It is a huge blessing because a lot of times, you stop believing in yourself," said Sonam.

Rakesh Mehra, Aanand L Rai, Shashank Ghosh, Sooraj Barjatya and now Ram Madhavni -- all have really believed in me and said that 'We don't care what anybody says, we know what you are' and the same has built a lot of confidence in me.
A lot of people play many games in this industry and I don't know how to do that. I am a very sensitive person and I start believing in the negative things said about me. A director's trust in me is the best thing that can happen to me."
Also featuring Shaban Azmi and Shekhar Ravijani, Neerja is releasing on 19 February.
