Priyanka Chopra is all set to make her Bollywood comeback with Shonali Bose's The Sky Is Pink after juggling Hollywood projects like Quantico, and films like Baywatch, A Kid Like Jake and Isn't It Romantic. The film is about a couple that lose their daughter to pulmonary fibrosis, a serious immunity disease. It  Priyanka and Farhan Akhtar acting as parents of that girl, who is played by Zaira Wasim. Talking about the project, PeeCee told a news agency, "This is a story of a real life couple who have thrived under extraordinary circumstances and not been bogged down by it." In a reference to Rajesh Khanna-starrer Anand, she added, "They put themselves aside and said, 'Even if I can't give my daughter a long life, I'm going to give her a big life'. I wanted to take more responsibility of this film because I believed in it so much."

Adding how the film reminded her of her parents, Madhu and late Ashok Chopra, who died in 2013, Priyanka revealed how her own parents sacrificed so much for her life. "My parents were like that with me. They stood by me and supported me over their own dreams and ambitions. They sacrificed their lives so that I could have mine and I feel like in this cynical world today, where we somehow become solitary from our families. This is the kind of family film that reminds you, how important family is and how important the support of your family is. I found that just so beautiful, especially in the world of today," she said.
