A story line that you can't go wrong with, a filmmaker who expertly knows how to tug the heartstrings of the audience and an ensemble cast of the finest actors in Bollywood, The Sky Is Pink, has all the ingredients to create a sensational film.
While the director Shonali Bose is terrific and we can all attest to how brilliant Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Zaira Wasim and Farhan Akhtar were in the film, we were in for a surprise with Rohit Suresh Saraf.
Rohit Saraf plays the role of Zaira Wasim's elder brother in The Sky Is Pink, and we can't get enough of him. Visible to the audience for a screen time of 30-40 minutes, this insanely talented, 22 year old actor impressed the critics and viewers with his undeniably impressive screen presence and portrayal of a big brother grieving the loss of not just his sister but even his parents who were never the same after their daughter's death.
Below, we'll list exactly why Rohit Saraf is the new-age actor we have always wanted and why we are insanely crushing on him right now!
1. In this one scene in The Sky Is Pink, you see Rohit Saraf frantically crying after disconnecting a call from his sister. The earth-shattering grief that he brought out was exactly the kind of stuff cinema dreams are made of. So real, raw and moving.
2. His smile can make YOU smile.
3. His smile could give Shah Rukh Khan smile some tough competition.
4. The first time we saw him in the Norwegian film What People Will Say, we knew we had an actor to look out for. His intensely relatable performance as a conflicted teenager was mad impressive.
5. In an interview, he very candidly spoke about how he's looking for roles that will help him grow as a human first. Now isn't that refreshing?
6. And isn't his dressing sense just wow?
7. Besides Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Rohit Saraf has acted alongside Rani Mukherjee in Hichki and was terrific there too!
9. Oh and even Alia Bhatt is his fan! Because she witnessed what a refined actor Rohit is when they starred in Dear Zindagi together.
10. In another interview, Rohit Saraf spoke about how there is no such thing as luck. Only hardwork.
11. And another reason to love him is because he's going to be around, killing it in every scene of every film he's in.
