In Ram Madhvani's biopic, Sonam essayed the life of slain flight attendant Neerja Bhanot who died saving hundreds of passengers on a hijacked flight in 1986.
When asked if audiences are once again going to see her reprising a strong female character on screen, Sonam said, "I will announce something soon. I can't talk about it."
She did not divulge any further details of her next project.
The "Raanjhana" actress, when quizzed if she would also like to play historic female heroes, she said, "You see it. Hopefully I would like to play something like that."
The 30-year-old actress on the occasion acknowledged the active role of many Indian women who helped build the nation but rued that unsung heroes like Neerja Bhanot got lost in history.
"There are lot of Indian woman who have been modern heroes who have helped in building a better India. There are lot of Indian women in the history you look at like Mother Teresa, Sarojini Naidu, Lata Mangeshkar and others," she said.
"There are women who got lost in the page of history like Neerja Bhanot and it is sad. There is a wider variety of women that we are looking at and the more innovative things that they are doing which are cultural and scientific breakthroughs and artistic as well," Sonam said.
Ambassadors for the beauty major Sonam, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Katrina Kaif were present to give away the awards.
