It has been a very long time since we saw Priyanka Chopra Jonas on the big screen in a Hindi movie. The last was, Jai Gangaajal. Can you believe that? Our prayers have been heard as the actress will soon be seen in Shonali Bose's The Sky Is Pink. The movie based on the life of late motivational speaker Aisha Chaudhary and her family's struggle with her fatal lung disease. The title of the film is quite unusual, though attractive. Don't you think? There is a very sweet moment in the movie which is the source of the title. In the latest issue of Elle Canada narrates the scene, in an interview with Priyanka. Priyanka Chopra's BTS Pics With Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim from The Sky Is Pink Sets Are Sweet!

The issue reveals that Priyanka's character is calling her son, Ishan, played by Rohit Saraf from a payphone. The article further reveals, "The two are oceans apart, and Aditi is living in poverty in London, where her daughter is receiving treatment for SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency). Ishan, who is still in India, is crying because he was teased at school for drawing a picture with a pink sky. The conversation about an inane slight is one any parent can relate to, and Aditi is furious as she tells her son, “Never change the colour of your sky for someone else” before adding, “I coloured mine the way I wanted."

So poignant, isn't it? Priyanka said in her interview, "This film is melancholic; it’s poignant, it’s poetic, it’s artistic, but at the same time it’s a celebration of life more than anything else,” adding, “The film is not going to crush your heart—it’s going to make you want to go hug your parents and call your family.

The Sky Is Pink will have its premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, followed by a theatrical release in India. The movie also stars Zaira Wasim and Farhan Akhtar alongside Priyanka and Rohit.
