Bollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra has revealed her “wild child” tendencies that attracted her to her new TV show.
The actress and former Miss World takes on the role of FBI recruit Alex Parrish in drama Quantico, her first big role outside of her native India, where she is a household name for her starring turns on the big screen.

Speaking on the set of the show in Montreal, Canada, she said: “The best roles for women are on TV. Coming from a feature background in India, I think this is the best time to be an actress right now, in Indian films at least. I’ve been very sure about the fact I like picking empowered roles that are not replaceable, even if they are small.”
Priyanka has become the first south Asian actress to win a People’s Choice Award in America for her role on the show but she said she didn’t want her ethnicity to be a factor in her casting.
