Exciting enough?
Talking about the plot of Shonali Bose’s film, it is based on the life of late Aisha Chaudhary, a girl who suffered from pulmonary fibrosis when she was 13 years old. Irrespective of her illness, she became a motivational speaker and author of a book titled ‘My Little Epiphanies’. However, she could not fight for long with her illness and passed away at the age of 19 on January 24, 2018. ‘Dangal’ fame Zaira Wasim will be portraying the character of Aisha while Farhan and Priyanka will play the part of her parents.
