Mumbai: The trailer of Priyanka Chopra's Bollywood comeback film 'The Sky Is Pink', co-starring Farhan Akhtar, Zaira Wasim, and Rohit Saraf is finally out and it is everything! The trailer, which takes you on a crazy family ride, is a perfect blend of all the emotions.

Priyanka shared the trailer of the film on her Twitter handle, writing, "Presenting the trailer for #TheSkyIsPink- a film about love, made with so much of it! It's a very proud milestone moment for me, because it's my first as an actor & co-producer. Hope it gives you all the feels and inspires you to celebrate life."

The trailer, which has all the elements - romance, drama, tragedy, and hope, leaves you wanting for more.

The recently released trailer features Priyanka and Farhan, a madly in love couple and their undeniable chemistry which will keep you hooked. While Zaira is a sassy and sardonic teenager, who calls herself the villain in her parents love story.

The three-minute-long trailer shows Aisha (Zaira) narrating her "favourite yet tragic" love story of her parents, who she fondly calls Panda (Farhan) and Moose (Priyanka). Starting from their early days of romance to their wedding to their accidental child, the trailer perfectly captures the ups and downs shared by the couple.

While they are hesitant at first about giving birth to Aisha (Zaira), they later welcome her with open hearts. Despite all the tough times, the pair is hopeful to sail through everything. However, the real challenge arises when Aisha (Zaira) is diagnosed with an immune deficiency and they put forth everything to save their daughter.

The viewers also get to see some glimpses of her condition, Busulfan lung damage.

The trailer chronicles the obstacles in the family's life and how the tension around their daughter's condition causes a rift between Farhan and Priyanka's characters, who are going through a trying time.

Going by the trailer, which teases a delightful tale of love and hope, 'The Sky Is Pink' certainly looks promising.

Ahead of the trailer release, the film's first poster was released on Monday. It showed Priyanka perched on Farhan's back who is seen giving her a piggyback ride while Zaira and Rohit run ahead of them.

Directed by Shonali Bose, the film is based on the story of Aisha Chaudhary, who became a motivational speaker after being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 13. It also follows the love story of a couple spanning 25 years, told through the lens of their daughter.

The upcoming movie, which will be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, will hit the big screens on October 11.

'The Sky Is Pink' marks the Bollywood comeback of Priyanka after a hiatus of almost three years. It is co-produced by Priyanka, Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur.

Priyanka was seen in the Hollywood film 'Isn't It Romantic', starring Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, and Adam DeVine. Farhan, on the other hand, is currently prepping for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's 'Toofan', in which he will be essaying the role of a boxer.

Mar 4: Twenty-one Italian tourists and three Indian tour operators have been sent to an ITBP quarantine facility in Delhi on Tuesday for suspected coronavirus exposure, official sources said.

Health Ministry sources said these foreigners, 13 women and eight men, were in the same group of which an Italian and his wife have tested positive in Rajasthan capital Jaipur.

“His (Italian in Jaipur) condition is stable,” a source said.

Three Indians, who were accompanying this Italian group as tour operators, have also been sent to the ITBP facility in Chhawla area of south-west Delhi, they said.

All these people, staying at a five-star hotel in south Delhi, have been put in “preventive isolation” at the ITBP camp and their samples will be taken on Wednesday, sources said.

The centre already has 112 people, 76 Indians and 36 foreigners, since February 27 after they were evacuated by an IAF plane from Wuhan in China, the epicentre of the coronavirus.

The first samples of these 112 people had tested negative when reports came in last week.
