Priyanka
Chopra
apologised
for
a
recent
episode
in
"Quantico",
following
online
backlash
for
the
'Indian
nationalists' terror
plot
line
in
her
show.
The
35-year-old
actor
took
to
Twitter
to
clear
the
air
around
the
episode,
titled
'The
Blood
of
Romeo',
which
received
a
lot
of
backlash
from
Indian
fans
of
the
show,
who
criticised
her
of
being
a
part
of
the
storyline
that
showed
India
in
a
negative
light.
Calling
herself
a
"proud
Indian",
Chopra
said
she
is
"extremely
saddened" and
that
hurting
sentiments
of
people
was
never
her
intention.
"I'm
extremely
saddened
and
sorry
that
some
sentiments
have
been
hurt
by
a
recent
episode
of
'Quantico'.
That
was
not
and
would
never
be
my
intention.
I
sincerely
apologise.
I'm
a
proud
Indian
and
that
will
never
change,"
she
tweeted.
Chopra's
remarks
come
a
day
after
ABC's
statement
where
the
network
apologised
for
stepping
into
a
"complex
political
issue"
with
the
latest
episode
of
"Quantico",
which
showed
'Indian
nationalists'
planning
to
carry
out
a
terrorist
attack
in
Manhattan
and
frame
Pakistan
for
it
days
before
a
summit
on
Kashmir.
The
producers
said
the
actor
was
not
to
be
blamed
for
the
episode
as
she
did
not
have
a
creative
control
over
it.
Chopra,
who
became
the
first
Indian
actor
to
play
a
lead
role
in
an
American
TV
series,
portrays
FBI
agent
Alex
Parrish
on
the
show,
which
is
currently
in
its
third
and
final
season.
