Priyanka Chopra discusses her experience as an immigrant in the US as she introduces her home furnishings line: “I abandoned my roots”

As she introduced her new home furnishings line, Sona Home, Priyanka Chopra talked about her experience as an immigrant living in the United States and leaving her roots behind. The performer claimed that with Sona Home, she attempted to introduce a small element of her Indian ancestry to American homes. She also discussed how difficult it was for her to establish a second home for herself after moving to the country for work and eventually marrying singer-actor Nick Jonas.

Priyanka Chopra shared the information on her Instagram page on Wednesday. In a video, she and Sona Home co-founder Maneesh Goyal displayed the items from their line of home furniture. The actor said, “The core of Sona Home to me is family, community, and bringing people together, which is the thing about our culture in India,” when discussing her new company.

Maneesh continued, “If we’re having takeaway or a fantastic party, we want it to seem like it’s so much fun. Whatever we do with our friends or family should be anchored in culture and home, and should give us the feeling that there is nowhere else we would rather be.”

Priyanka went on, “Sona Home is founded on that. It has its roots in turning a house into a home. It was developed to foster community building among family and friends. And as an immigrant from India, that seems to me to be extremely significant. I moved away from home, but I came back to find you, my friends, and my family. This is my adopted nation, and you guys are my chosen family. And to be able to introduce the tradition of the region in which I grew up into households across America.”

In the caption of the video, which said, “I also talked about relocating to America,” “To introduce Sona Home to you all, I could not be more proud. Coming from India and establishing America as my second home was difficult, but my travels brought me to a place where I was able to build friends and a second family. This is an outgrowth of the idea that I infuse a little bit of India into everything I do.” In a different post, she also included images of the items in her home furnishings collection.

For her next Amazon Prime Video series Citadel, the actor recently finished scheduling. Additionally, she is working on the albums Ending Things and It’s All Coming Back To Me.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.

What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”

This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”

Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.

Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.

When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”

“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
