The Sky Is Pink
Family — they irk you, smirk at you, and even besmirch you, but they are the
ones who stand by you and counter the ones who try to do the same.
The
Sky Is Pink
is the story of one such family. Spanning 25 years, it is the love
story of two weird and crazy people, Aditi and Niren, played by the talented
Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar respectively, seen through the lens of
their feisty daughter, Aisha. The trailer has already made everyone sit up and
take notice, not only because of its heartwarming story, but also because it
marks Priyanka Chopra’s return to B-town after a hiatus. Also starring Zaira
Wasim and Rohit Saraf,
The Sky Is Pink
is based on the real story of late
Aisha Chaudhary, the young motivational speaker, who lost her life to the rare
disease of pulmonary fibrosis, but touched countless lives in her short span,
with her zeal for living.

production house Red Chillies,

already fluttered the feathers of interest with its

web and will it be able to live up to the hype of
the book. Considering it stars promising actors

Kumar Singh, Rajit Kapur, among others, this
Netflix original series surely carries the burden of
colossal expectations.
