The movie depicts how Aisha described her parents' love story and relationship. The movie also starred Farhan Akhtar, Zaira Wasim, etc in the lead roles.

In the film, she portrayed a character from 18 years of age until the early 50s. Talking to a leading international website, Priyanka addressed the challenges and norms she faced while portraying an aging woman onscreen. She said, according to the general view of the society, a woman's aging process is shown by the character putting on weight, ageing makeup, etc but when men are shown aging, they come off hotter or with heavier character.

The actor went on to add that they broke this gender bias in the film by not showing the character putting on weight around the age of 45 but, showing how the real person aged by dressing fabulously and feeling great about herself.
