Priyanka Chopra says NYC restaurant ‘Sona’ was named by Nick Jonas

As actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ New York City (NYC) restaurant opened on Friday, she shared an extensive note on Instagram along with pictures from the cafe. In her note, the actor revealed that it was her husband Nick Jonas who came up with the restaurant’s name ‘Sona‘.

“Yes! Hubby came up with the name at an early tasting with the team, as Sona means “gold,” and he had heard that word in India, well…A lot, throughout our wedding!” she wrote.

“This has been a team effort all the way… from the many many menu deliberations, food tastings, and decor decisions to landing on the perfect name, all thanks to Nick Jonas,” Priyanka wrote.
