The Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim starrer The Sky Is Pink premiered in Toronto recently to glowing reviews. The first trailer for the film released on Tuesday, 10 September, and is getting great buzz on social media. The Sky Is Pink is based on the life of 15-year-old Aisha, who suffered from Severe Combined Immuno-Deficiency from the tender of six months. She lost her life at 15 due to it, just a few hours after her book was released.

Aisha Chaudhary’s story is a special one. Born with Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID), undergoing a bone-marrow transplant as a six month old baby and later being diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, Aisha’s life had been something of a ‘rollercoaster’, as she would often call it herself. Life had never been fair to this teenage girl, who like many others of her age, had always wished for a happy ending.
