Rohit
Saraf,
who
played
the
role
of
Alia
Bhatt's
brother
in
Dear
Zindagi,
will
be
playing
Zaira
Wasim's
brother
in
The
Sky
Is
Pink.
Zaira
will
act
as
Aisha,
a
terminally
ill
child.
The
movie
will
be
about
the
life
story
of
a
couple
-
Priyanka
and
Farhan,
and
it
will
be
narrated
through
the
lens
of
Aisha,
who
plays
their
daughter.
The
actor
stated
that
he
was
in
Himachal
Pradesh
with
his
family
when
he
received
a
call
to
audition
for
the
film.
"One
day,
I
just
got
a
call
for
a
look
test
and
had
no
idea
if
other
actors
would
also
be
there
or
if
I
had
got
the
part.
A
humungous
set
and
several
vanity
vans
were
parked
at
the
studio.
Priyanka,
Farhan
and
Zaira
walked
in
and
all
of
us
were
thrown
in
front
of
the
camera.
The
photo
session
went
on
for
six-seven
hours.
When
I
was
leaving
the
sets,
Shonali
informed
me
that
I
would
be
playing
Ishaan,"
said
the
actor.
Rohan
also
revealed
that
Shonali
had
lost
her
elder
son
and
that
she
would
consider
him
as
a
third
son
she
never
had.
"This
film
gave
me
the
closure
of
a
death,
which
I
never
thought
I
would
need
as
I
had
believed
that
I'd
made
peace
with
it.
It
was
only
during
the
film,
that
I
realised
there
was
so
much
more
that
I
had
to
deal
with
ad
it
happened
while
I
was
on
the
set.
Shonali
told
me
about
her
elder
son
whom
she
had
lost.
He
was
also
called
Ishaan.
I
felt
special
when
she
told
me
that
I
was
the
third
son
she
never
had."
When
he
was
asked
about
his
experience
of
working
with
Priyanka
Chopra,
he
said
that
the
actor
motivated
him
to
perform
well.
"She
told
me
to
be
myself,
be
confident,
and
that
I
had
got
the
part
because
I
was
talented.
That
boosted
my
morale
and
changed
my
perspective
towards
the
scene."
Rohit,
along
with
the
rest
of
the
cast,
will
be
attending
the
special
screening
of
The
Sky
Is
Pink
at
the
Toronto
International
Film
Festival.
