Why the movie titled 'The Sky is Pink'?

Farhan revealed that there is a scene in the movie that explains the movie's name. The scene is a phone call conversation between 'Aditi', the character played by Priyanka and her son, Ishaan. Ishaan complains about his teacher who scolded him for painting the colour of the sky as pink. To which his mother replies that ‘No one can tell you which colour your sky should be. You are the one who paints your own sky.’
