IN PICS – Priyanka Chopra sizzles for ‘Quantico’
In a report published in The Hollywood Reporter, Priyanka Chopra has written a detailed journey of “straddling two careers – one in US and the other in India. “I know that sounds absolutely crazy, but I’m going to make it work. I can’t and won’t let either one go, even if it kills me,” she adds.

Priyanka Chopra also outlines the anxiousness and nervousness ahead of her shoots and tiring journeys back and forth US. In the diary entries, Priyanka further explains her first reaction to the news when ‘Quantico’ pilot was picked up by ABC, in a typical Bollywood fashion.
She writes, “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!”
In the detailed diary writings, she also explains about how it is being a TV ‘virgin’ and how she felt when she first met Hollywood actress Kerry Washington in person and how starstruck she was when she met Jimmy Kennel.
And as she moves back and forth US almost daily, her busy schedules don’t dampen her spirits. In fact the actress is ready to take much more and do so much more in order to achieve her ‘greatest dreams and ambitions’.
She further writes, “No sleep for the wicked the say! After a fun night with Team Quantico, I spent some time with my family who I haven’t seen in a while. My manager has me at a breakfast meeting at 8:30 a.m., and then I’m off to the airport to head back to Mumbai. All of this translates into no sleep, but I’m looking forwarding to catching up on my zzzzzs — and some TV — on the long flight home.”
Strangely, I’m not tired. My brain is ticking away furiously and I have a sense of anticipation of what’s about to come. All I can say at this moment is, ‘Bring it on!’”
