Priyanka Chopra Jonas is no longer a part of her restaurant venture, Sona.
Two years after opening the New York-based restaurant, PeeCee has decided to step down from her partnership.
According to reports, Priyanka Chopra has stepped away from her association with Sona – an Indian restaurant which was opened in 2021 while Covid-19 restrictions were still in place.
The restaurant will remain open and will be managed by the co-founder Maneesh K. Goyal.
“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.”
– a spokesperson said in a statement.
Confirming the news, a representative of the actress told People –
“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 endeavoured 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.”
Talking to the leading magazine, Maneesh expressed his gratitude for Priyanka’s partnership and support. He also revealed that the Love Again actress was the creative force behind the restaurant.
“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.”
– Maneesh stated.
On the work front, PeeCee will be seen in Heads of State with John Cena and Idris Elba.
