    With fame comes entrepreneurship — for a select few. Business people are those who can gauge a demand in a market and supply; in the case of stars, they can create a demand and capitalise on it. Priyanka Chopra recently decided to expand her reach and turn to enterprise. Image Credit: Insta/aliaabhatt

    Priyanka Chopra
    The entrepreneur has launched a new homeware line, which glorifies Indian heritage. The actress along with her business partner Maneesh Goyal, on Wednesday, launched her new home decor brand Sona Home, after the success of her restaurant Sona, which she inaugurated in 2021. The ‘Matrix’ actor, on Wednesday, shared a special launch video of the event on her Instagram account, to which she captioned, “Launch day is here! I couldn’t be more proud to introduce you all to SONA HOME. It was challenging to come from India and make America my second home, but my journey led me to a place where I found a second family and friends. I bring a piece of India into everything I do and this is an extension of that thought. It’s awesome to be working alongside @maneeshkgoyal and our entire team in creating something so dear to our hearts and heritage.” Known as the ‘Desi Girl’, the actor never misses any chance to promote Indian culture, and with her new brand she is all set to showcase Indian style hospitality to the world.

    Alia Bhatt
    In keeping with diversity in earnings, ‘Gully Boy’ star Alia Bhatt has also invested in Nykaa. The amount, like her previous StyleCracker investment, remains undisclosed. Bhatt is shrewd about her spends and a serial entrepreneur; she launched a kidswear start-up called Ed-a-mamma and is in talks over another one. Ed-a-mamma has reportedly already sold 70 per cent of the range in the six weeks since its launch – guess she’s doing something right. Image Credit: Insta/ aliaabhatt
