'Quantico' star Priyanka Choprahas criticised Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's call for banning Muslim immigrants, saying generalising a type of people is "really primitive".

Priyanka was named by Time among 100 most influential people thanks to her blossoming career in Hollywood. Trump, who also made it on the list was present at the gala on Tuesday night.

"I just think you can't put a ban on anyone. Generalizing a type of people is really primitive," she said.

The 33-year-old star said that the fight against domestic terrorism has grown so complex that "you can't put a face on it anymore," she added.

Trump has been already criticised by celebrities like George Clooney and wife Amal for his controversial comments.
