The director of 'The Sky Is Pink', Shonali Bose spoke about shooting an emotional scene where Priyanka Chopra Jonas couldn't stop crying.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Farhan Akhtar along with filmmaker Shonali Bose were in Canada where they attended the prestigious 2019 Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of their upcoming film, The Sky Is Pink. Going by the photos and videos from the film festival, it showed that the whole team had a fun time and also got emotional while watching the movie. The film is based on the real-life couple Aditi Chaudhary and Niren Chaudhary, parents of late motivational speaker Aisha Chaudhary.
During an interaction with Mumbai Mirror, when Shonali was asked about how Priyanka and Farhan dealt with these tough characters in The Sky Is Pink, she stated, "I think the script was gold for both Priyanka and Farhan and a lot of it is all written, so it was easy for them. The workshops helped. I also told them well in advance that I’d need rehearsal days. I really enjoyed working with these actors and had formed an emotional bond with them, including with Rohit Saraf and Zaira Wasim, which you see in the film."
Shonali had lost her son Ishaan nine years back and she used to fondly call him Ishlu. In one of the scenes, Priyanka is seen calling her onscreen son Ishaan played by Rohit as Ishlu. Talking about the sequence, Shonali told the tabloid, "Priyanka heard me calling my Ishan that when I spoke about him and asked me, “Can I call him Ishlu in this scene?” I just smiled from ear to ear."
Bose also shared one more anecdote saying, "Another emotional shoot was when she had to break down after a scene. After I called “cut”, I hugged her and she couldn’t stop crying. She kept whispering, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry. I know now what it means to lose a child. I am so sorry for Ishlu.” I continued holding her."
