Priyanka Chopra Gets Ready To Face The Biggest Challenge Of Her Career

Priyanka Chopra will play the real-life mother of  the brave Aisha Chaudhary  who died in January 2015 after a long and valiant  struggle with  Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome(SCIS) a severely debilitating condition caused by a lung disorder that obstructs  breathing.

 The  story of Aisha who died when she  was  only  18, will now be brought to  the screen by director Shonali Bose whose  last film Margarita With A Straw was  also about a seriously debilitated  real-life character.

While Zaira Wasim from Secret Superstar will play Aisha, Priyanka  gets ready to play the ailing girl’s unvanquished  mother Aditi Chaudhary. Farhan Akhtar  will play the  girl’s father.

Before she tragically lost the battle against her  lifelong illness, Aisha wrote  a  book My Little Epiphanies which  will be part of  the  film’s narrative.

The  film entitled The Sky Is Pink will see Priyanka  play a real-life character  for the  second time  after Mary Kom, not counting Bajirao Mastani.
