Priyanka Chopra Jonas is all set to open the doors of her Indian restaurant named Sona in New York. The actress has teamed up with restaurateur Maneesh Goyal on her latest endeavour. Priyanka will shortly begin welcoming foodies and lovers of Indian cuisine to Sona. Ahead of it, the actress along with her husband Nick Jonas and Maneesh performed a puja at the restaurant.
Maneesh, on Instagram, shared pictures from the puja and wrote, "This morning at SONA, we conducted a small puja or blessing ceremony. We’ll be seeing our first guests very soon and it was important to both @priyankachopra and myself that we hold a puja before our doors are officially open. It was so special to gather in this way. Friends & supporters of @sonanewyork from India to London to California joined in."
Maneesh further informed that they had aimed at inaugurating the place in 2020 but it got postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "This morning’s ceremony was especially poignant since, in September 2019, we did a similar ceremony to bless the space while it was raw—before we started any construction at all. At that time, we thought we’d be open by the Summer of 2020. Of course, we had no idea what 2020 had in store for us. I give that first blessing a lot of credit for seeing us through…and guiding us as we fought to keep our project alive. And now, a year and half after that first puja, SONA is ready. I am so grateful for all the blessings we have received. Here we go!
