Actress-producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas is no longer associated with Sona, her Indian cuisine restaurant which was opened in 2021 in New York City.

A spokesperson for the Citadel star confirmed the news to People magazine.

“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," a representative said in a statement.

The 41-year-old actor will, however, continue to take an interest in the hospitality and food scene.

“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, said 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.

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.

Who is the fentanyl killer? ITV’s 'The Essex Millionaire Murders' reveals the chilling truth

From April 28th, viewers across the country will be gripped by The Essex Millionaire Murders, a new two-part ITV documentary uncovering the twisted crimes of Luke D’Wit, the man now known as Britain’s “fentanyl killer”.

The story is as horrifying as it is fascinating. D’Wit, a seemingly helpful IT consultant from Mersea Island, was hiding a dark and calculating mind. Over the course of several years, he built a web of lies around Carol and Stephen Baxter, a wealthy couple who considered him a close friend. What they could never have known was that D’Wit was plotting their murders, motivated by greed and a chilling lack of empathy.

Is Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's move to London about their children?

Virat Kohli is having another stellar IPL season, racking up runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. But off the field, the chatter isn't just about cricket. It's about his and Anushka Sharma's decision to move to London. The couple, who welcomed their second child Akaay last year, have been spotted frequently in the UK, sparking rumours of a permanent shift. Now, those close to them have confirmed the move, citing their desire for a quieter, more private life for their children.

The intense scrutiny that comes with being one of India's most famous couples has pushed them to seek normalcy abroad. In a candid conversation on a podcast, Dr Shriram Nene (Madhuri Dixit's husband) revealed that Anushka once shared their struggles with fame. "They were considering London because they can't fully enjoy their success here," he said. "Every little thing they do draws attention. It's isolating."
