American show ‘Quantico’ by ABC will see her essay an FBI agent Alex Parrish, who is shown to be half Indian and half Caucasian.
For Priyanka, cracking a deal with the television conglomerate is a big move which speaks volumes about the talent and versatility she possesses as an actress.

Her performance will definitely be rated and critics will have their mighty pen in place to dole out judgements.”
