Bold in Black: Latest teaser of Priyanka Chopra’s ‘Quantico’

Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra has more than one reason to be happy. The actress, who was recently appreciated for her overwhelming performance in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, looks forward to the launch of her upcoming international television show ‘Quantico’.

‘Quantico’ marks the actress’ first international project. She plays the role of Alex Parish, a half Asian, half Caucasian FBI trainee, who is suspected to be one of the world’s most wanted contrary to her being the world’s most eligible bachelors.

PeeCee also shared through her little diary in one of her recent interviews, that she maintained to keep a track of every big and small events of her life and that she did not see this massive news making its way to the Indian and international media.

Here is a snippet from her little diary of secrets before you watch the teaser:

Dear Diary (LOL, I had to!) — I had just fallen into a deep sleep, the kind where your body is completely relaxed and your mind is free to wander. I'm in the middle of shooting a film and we're on the "graveyard" shift, so the days are my nights and the nights my days. I've been on edge the past few days, answering every call from my U.S. manager, Anjula Acharia-Bath, on the first ring anxiously awaiting the news from ABC about whether Quantico was given the green light. I'm somewhat of an all or nothing kind of person (I've always been that way, especially with my work), so needless to say missing puzzle pieces make me anxious. I like to see and know what the big picture is going to look like, and this "unknown" about Quantico has been a big piece missing from my puzzle. Until …

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" I could hear my mom calling out to me as she simultaneously banged my bedroom door down. I somehow stumbled out of bed, suddenly worried that something bad had happened. "It's Anjula," she said breathlessly, "It's about Quantico!" When Anjula couldn't reach me (she called five times), she called mom and pretty much instructed her to do anything in her means to wake me up!

From the moment I started my international sojourn, with music and everything else that came after, my experiences and interactions with various people (especially those of Indian descent) created a burning desire to want to represent my country. To show the world that we are so much more than we are given credit for. No one obligated me to do so. I consciously (and at the same time subconsciously) put that pressure on myself. It's something I feel very deeply about, something I have always felt. So, for me, this was one step in the right direction. To have an Indian actress at the helm of a major U.S. TV series, produced by one of the biggest networks in the world! It's a good start.
