Priyanka Chopra is one of Bollywood’s most celebrated and talented actresses, who is currently settled in the United States. Apart from having a vast acting career, Priyanka Chopra also makes a living through her business ventures, for which she partnered with her friend Maneesh K Goyal.
Priyanka Chopra opened her own Indian restaurant called Sona in New York in the year 2021 by teaming up with her close friend Maneesh Goyal, who is an entrepreneur and businessman with a deep knowledge in the world of restaurants and hospitality.
Maneesh Goyal co-owns and runs the Indian restaurant Sona, which is established in the Flatiron area of New York. Priyanka Chopra and Maneesh have been friends for a long time and reconnected when the actress moved to the United States.
Maneesh Goyal is an Indian businessman who is settled in Dallas, Texas, and was inspired to venture into the food service industry by his father, who used to run a successful Indian restaurant in the United States called India House, which was the first place to serve Indian cuisine in Texas.
Both Maneesh Goyal and Priyanka Chopra are very tied to their Indian roots and love to host big parties at their homes with tasty Indian dishes. These parties gave Goyal the idea to open an Indian-themed restaurant in the heart of New York City.
Maneesh Goyal is the founder and head of the creative agency MKG and owns multiple restaurants across the United States, including the India House and cocktail joint Temple Bar. He approached Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas with the idea of Sona, and the couple couldn’t refuse.
Now, Maneesh is the CEO of Pineapple Co. and the co-founder of Sona restaurant and houseware, both of which are Priyanka Chopra’s brands. Living in a swanky apartment in Manhattan, Maneesh Goyal has a net worth of USD 1 million, which is around Rs 8.3 crore.
