“(There’s been) a lot of changes (since of then), a lot of things, but eventually the same – look at that,” Priyanka told the journalists here. “There’s so much love and affection at TIFF and 10 years ago that’s exactly what happened and I’m hoping to take all these good wishes back for the promotion of this movie that we kick-start today,” she added. For those of you who don't know, Priyanka's film What's Your Rashee? was screened at TIFF in 2009.
Shonali too spoke to the reporters before she set foot inside the venue and told them that she was hoping to get a standing ovation. “Oh my gosh, I hope they give us a standing ovation,” she said. Well, she couldn't have asked for more.
The Sky Is Pink details the journey of Aditi Chaudhary (played by Priyanka) and Niren Chaudhary (Farhan) from the perspective of their recently deceased teenage daughter, Aisha Chaudhary, who was suffering from pulmonary fibrosis- a type of condition that causes hardening of the lungs. The Sky Is Pink will be released theatrically worldwide on October 11, 2019.
