Priyanka Chopra Jonas opens restaurant in New York

Actor-producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas has announced that she is opening an Indian cuisine restaurant in New York.

Priyanka took to Instagram and shared a picture of the restaurant named Sona, which will be opening doors for food enthusiasts later this month.

She also posted images from the prayer ceremony (pooja) held in 2019, to mark the beginning of the construction, where her popstar husband Nick Jonas was also present.

"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 38-year-old actor, who is shooting for the Amazon series Citadel in the UK, wrote.

Priyanka said the kitchen will be helmed by chef Hari Nayak and also thanked her partners, restaurateur Maneesh Goyal, and David Rabin.

"Sona is opening later this month, and I can't wait to see you there! This endeavour would not have been possible without the leadership of my friends Maneesh Goyal and David Rabin. Thank you to our designer Melissa Bowers and the rest of the team for realizing this vision so clearly," she said,

Goyal credited Priyanka for being the "creative force" behind the restaurant.

Priyanka was recently seen in the Netflix film The White Tiger and also released her much-awaited memoir Unfinished.
