Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who started a restaurant named Sona in New York with Maneesh Goyal in 2021, has decided to end her association with the restaurant.

New Delhi: Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who started a restaurant named Sona in New York with Maneesh Goyal in 2021, has decided to end her association with the restaurant. Priyanka’s spokesperson confirmed the news to People magazine and shared a statement with the publication. 

"Priyanka has stepped away from her partnership at Sona. Bringing Sona to life will invariably be a proud and significant moment in her career. Priyanka has always endeavored to bring Indian culture to the fore through storytelling, whether that's via engaging content for film and TV, or a beautifully plated dish that embodies the haute cuisine of India," People quoted the statement. 

"Stepping away from Sona allows her to broaden these ambitions on a more global scale, and she's excited about the possibilities that await," the spokesperson added. 

Maneesh K Goyal, Sona co-founder and Chopra Jonas' friend and former business partner, tol People that working with the actor was "a dream come true". 

"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," Goyal added. 

In 2021, Maneesh took to his social media and credited Priyanka as the “creative force” behind the venture. “First, my kind friend @priyankachopra, who has been the creative force behind SONA. There is no one who better—and more boldly—personifies “global Indian” than Pri. SONA is so lucky to have her in our corner. From the design, to the menu, to the music, to even the name, Priyanka has her fingerprints all over SONA. Love you dear Pri! Our baby is finally ready for the world to see,” he shared. 

Sona, which means 'gold' in Hindi and got its name after a suggestion from Chopra's husband, singer Nick Jonas, opened while COVID-19 restrictions were still in place. It started in March 2021.
