Back in March 2021, Priyanka Chopra realised her dream of owning a restaurant in America. Her restaurant Sona opened in New York City’s Gramercy neighbourhood and instantly became a hit. Its authentic Indian interiors, curated art collection, and impressive menu made it a must-visit for New Yorkers. But as it turns out, Priyanka is no longer a part of Sona.
A representative of the restaurant shared the update with an international magazine. They said, “Priyanka has stepped away from her partnership at Sona. Bringing Sona to life will invariably be a proud and significant moment in her career. Stepping away from Sona allows her to broaden these ambitions on a more global scale, and she’s excited about the possibilities that await.“
Sona will continue to be handled by its co-founder Maneesh K. Goyal. In a media interaction, Maneesh shared, “We’re grateful for her partnership and support. While she will no longer be involved as a creative partner moving forward, she remains in the Sona family and we are excited for our respective new chapters ahead.“
While we don’t know the real reason for Priyanka’s disassociation, it is surely saddening. I still can’t get over how excited the actress was when Sona was launched.
When Priyanka Introduced Sona To The World
In March 2021, Priyanka shared a bunch of beautiful pictures on her ‘Gram celebrating the opening of Sona. Along with the snaps, she wrote, “I’m thrilled to present to you SONA, a new restaurant in NYC that I poured my love for Indian food into. SONA is the very embodiment of timeless India and the flavours I grew up with. The kitchen is helmed by the incredible Chef @harinayak, a masterful talent, who has created the most delicious and innovative menu, taking you on a food journey through my amazing country. SONA is opening later this month, and I can’t wait to see you there!” Scroll down for the pictures:
I wonder if Priyanka will start another restaurant or is it enough food biz for now? Can’t wait for her to reveal future plans!
