Priyanka Chopra is a bundle of nerves and yet, is proud and confident of Quantico, a show for ABC she plays the lead in, doing well. As Alex Parrish, she finds herself in the middle of a terror conspiracy.

She takes immense pride in the way things have shaped up for her. “You see, for Americans, India’s only about the bindi, mehndi and sarees. Come on, we are much more than just that. I was very adamant that if I had to do something like this, it better be good. I didn’t want them to cast me as the typical Indian princess or a tribal girl. I made it very clear to them in the first meeting and they created an amazing character for the show.”

PC calls Quantico, which premieres September 27 in the US, a ‘drama thriller’. “There’s college, friendships, conspiracy, manipulations and everything else in Quantico. It’s like Homeland meets Gossip Girl. People who have watched these shows will understand why I am saying this. With each season, we will have different stories to tell. Like the mystery behind this season will be revealed in the finale itself.”
