Priyanka Chopra Jonas launched her homeware brand SONA Home recently. This came a year after the actress launched her first restaurant Sona in New York City, serving Indian cuisine abroad.

Are Priyanka’s SONA Home prices too steep?

Many people took to Twitter and expressed disappointment and shock over the steep prices of SONA Home essentials. According to the website, the ‘Panna’ Collection has a tablecloth that is priced at Rs 31,000 (USD 398). A cup and saucer set is priced around Rs 5,300 (USD 68) and Chutney Pots, (a set of 6 pieces) are priced at Rs 15,000 (USD 198). Apart from ‘Panna’, the brand is also selling ‘Sultan Garden’ collection. One Sultan’s Garden dinner plate costs Rs 4,733, a serving bowl from the collection costs Rs 7,732, a tea cup and a saucer are priced at Rs 5,365 and a mug is worth Rs 3,471. These are among many items listed on the Sona Home website.
