Bollywood Beauty Priyanka Chopra Comes to US, Stars in ABC TV Show 'Quantico

June 23, 2015

Mumbai, Jun 23: Priyanka Chopra plays Alex in ABC new show Quantico which premieres this fall. She is the husky voice featured in the promo that aired during the NBA final. Priyanka signed a talent deal with ABC. This television role is the first shot across our North American bows by the far East giants of Bollywood. It will be interesting to see how it plays out with Priyanka. Seeing such a famous Bollywood star on American TV is reason enough to give the series a chance to succeed. It will, at least, draw a lot of curiosity.

Priyanka-ChopraQuantico is about a group of recruits who have joined the FBI and have gone through the strict training. According to The Christian Post, there will be a lot of attention paid to the back story of all the characters via flashback. This being a melodrama, one of the bunch will be a sleeper placed by a foreign government. Quantico's cast includes Aunjanue Ellis, Dougray Scott and Tate Ellington.

Jake McLaughlin is the male lead and romantic interest for Priyanka Chopra character Alex Parish. Television writer/producer Joshua Safran, best known for Gossip Girl, is the show's creator and executive producer.

Priyanka Chopra is one of a rich assortment of very busy Indian actresses. She has kept busy doing films in India while shooting Quantico. In an interview with GlamSham, Chopra said she is getting a little tired but says that mentally she is ready to go.

Hollywood has not made much use of anyone from the Indian film community, so everyone is hopeful that Priyaka's shot on American TV is a successful one. The multi-talented Priyankà Chopra is a very good bet for North American success, as the former Miss World 2000 has had a lot of success in several fields: she is a former beauty queen, a successful singer, an activist for children's and female rights and one of the most popular actresses in the world's biggest film communities, Bollywood. Her most famous films include Don, Fashion and Krrish3.

Quantico debuts after another new series Blood and Oil on Sunday September 27.

Los Angeles, Apr 12: Pop star Rihanna has asked her fans, who are demanding her to release her new album soon, to back off as her prime focus right now is doing her bit in saving the world from the coronavirus pandemic.

The Grammy winner was one of the first Hollywood personalities who pledged support towards the relief efforts in fighting the COVID-19 outbreak.

Rihanna has been teasing new for quite some time now and eager admirers got an earful from her during an Instagram Live. Her last studio album was 'Anti' which was released in 2016.

Taking a swipe at US President Donald Trump, the Barbadian singer said, "If one of y'all ask me about the album one more time when I'm tryna save the world, unlike y'all president....on sight."

Rihanna's non-profit organisation Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF) and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey recently donated USD 2.1 million each to help victims of domestic violence in Los Angeles during the COVID-19 stay-at-home order.

Also CLF and and rapper Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Foundation donated USD 2 million to support undocumented workers, the incarcerated, homeless and elderly populations, and children of frontline healthcare workers in Los Angeles and New York City amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier, Rihanna, through CLF, also donated USD 5 million to support Direct Relief, Partners In Health, Feeding America, the International Rescue Committee and World Health Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund as they continue to fight the pandemic in the US, the Caribbean and Africa.
