Indians troll Priyanka Chopra’s Sona Home brand

Many users started trolling PeeCee for heavy pricing. One user commented We have gone from foreigners ripping off people by exoticizing Indian culture and selling things at ludicrous prices to Indians ripping off people by exoticizing Indian culture and seeing things at ludicrous prices.

I’m sorry but this collection looks like it was designed for a retirement home. The colors and style are so antiquated, said another. Yet another commented If anyone pays $400 for a COTTON tablecloth, they deserve that level of highway robbery IMO.

Jitne me bread basket aa rahi utne me 2 jodi jeans, 5 cool tshirt, ek badhiya sneekers aa jaate hai bread ke 10 packets aur unhe rakhne wali peti ke sath. $98 nearly Rs 7500. Just saying, commented another.

Priyanka Chopra about Sona Home

Priyanka Chopra shared a video and gave us a glimpse of some of the pieces in her collection. In a caption she wrote, “I’ve always been a very intentional person with everything that I do, and so when launching SONA Home, @maneeshkgoyal and I wanted to bring our love of our joint heritage, coupled with a penchant for entertaining friends and family at home, to create a brand that I am insanely proud of.”

In addition to being inspired by India, there are many personal tie-ins to this collection. Like the lampshades, which are made using vintage Saris inspired by a beautiful story about Maneesh’s mom (It tears me up every time I hear it), she added.

Sona Home has been created with a lot of love and with a purpose to make every moment luxurious, intentional and special. We’re so happy to welcome you to our table, she concluded.
