Hi Alex Parrish
We didn’t know much about Priyanka Chopra before Quantico, but for whatever reason, we started watching the ABC series and falling for her the more we watched. Apparently she’s a huge actress in India that happened to be cast for the role on the show and has found success state side with it. Now her status is on the rise and she’s on her way to becoming a household name.
She recently blessed ESQUIRE with a sexy spread and she talked to the magazine about an array of topics, including the term “Bollywood,” how her father has inspired her, social media, her upcoming role on the Baywatch movie and her 30s vs. her 20s.
On the state of television (and movies):
“The strongest content is ALL on television right now. And, happily, there are strong, amazing characters for women. Quantico is a huge example of that. When was the last time you saw a hijab-wearing, ballsy, badass, unapologetic, flirtatious female FBI agent in a film? Movies are now so much about the entertainment. They’re all big blockbusters. And I love them, don’t get me wrong, but the writing has all gone to television.”
On who she would call her girl-crush:
“Irina Shayk. Hands down.”
