Neerja’s classmates from Bombay Scottish School, Sanjit Shastri and Salil Ranadive, share their memories of Neerja Bhanot and talk about the recently released biopic of the 23-year-old national hero, who died so that others could live.

A special screening of the film was held for the alumni of Bombay Scottish.

Sanjit had also recently thanked Sonam Kapoor for bringing Neerja back to life on the silver screen. Sonam took to Twitter and Instagram and thanked the Bombay Scottish batch of ’78 for making her an honorary alumni. She also credited director Ram Madhvani for making Neerja happen.
